The Master Teacher China Seminar is a half-day of China programming for some of the top educators in the country.

Held in Washington, D.C., the Seminar draws its audience from the teacher attendees of National Recognition Week – an annual event that celebrates the accomplishments of up to 141 top graduating high school seniors from around the country ("Presidential Scholars") and the teachers who have taught and most influenced them. The educators represent a cross-section of all academic, along with some non-academic, disciplines.

At the 2007 Seminar, the Committee lined up a stellar panel of speakers for the teachers: Georgetown Law School professor James Feinerman spoke about the prospects for rights and law in the PRC; Dr. Xiaodong Zhang, an educational consultant at Westat, discussed the Chinese educational system and compared it to the American system; and Mr. John Pomfret, the former Beijing chief for the Washington Post and author of Chinese Lessons, addressed some of the key issues that could promote or derail China’s march forward.
