I have been teaching at Lawrence for 8 years and have enjoyed it. I have three children ages 23, 17, and 14.February 21, 2012 at 9:12 am #20818GuestHello, I am Erica Goebel, an English, 9 - 12th grade, teacher at Downtown Magnets High, on the edge of downtown.
I heard about the institute from a teacher who went through the program and raved about it. I'm joining on class late, but looking forward to catching up.
This is my 9th year teaching. Coincidentally, I just checked out Lisa See's latest novel -- the continuation of Shanghai Girls characters -- titled Dreams of Joy. The main character has travelled to China to track down her father during the Revolution.February 24, 2012 at 1:32 pm #20819GuestMiguel Covarrubias

I had so much fun learning last time and came up with so many good ideas for lessons I could use with my students that I decided to take the class a second time.February 27, 2012 at 10:19 pm #20820GuestSusan Requa

I teach American Lit/Contemp Comp this year
My main interest in the class is in terms of language just because I'm always interested in exploring language. I feel like as China and the US continue to build their relationship to each other, language will be increasingly importantFebruary 29, 2012 at 7:43 am #20821GuestMaritza Monterroza
School Psychologist at Franklin High
In addition to my usual role as a school psy, I also teach mediation here at Franklin.March 14, 2012 at 4:08 pm #20822GuestMy name is Benjamin De Leon and here is a little bit about me:
- I currently teach Modern World History and Honors Modern World History at West Adams Preparatory High School in the Pico-Union area of Los Angeles (in between Koreatown and South Los Angeles). I have previously taught Government/Economics, U.S. History, and three electives: Business Management/Entrepreneurial Studies, Sociology, and Media Studies.
- I am very excited about this class. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled around Asia. A couple of years ago I traveled to Korea on a study trip through the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the Korea Foundation. When the program ended, I extended my stay in Asia for an extra week and half, hopping on over to Japan. This past summer I traveled to the Philippines and Thailand. Each of these trips and experiences have been utterly incredible and have added to my life - both personally and professionally - in so many ways. I hope to learn much from this seminar (I already am!) and bring back to my classroom all of the new information and knowledge that I am learning.
Cheers!
