    My name is Luis Valladares and I teach World History and Government at Mira Monte High School in Bakersfield. Over the course of the year, I teach Asian history for about 13 days. I would like to sneak in some more stuff throughout the year as well as focus more days on Asia.

    My name is Cynthia Shiva. I teach at James Monroe High School in North Hills. Next semester, I'm scheduled to teach tenth grade English. I am taking this seminar to get myself to think about how to incorporate East Asia into the high school Language Arts curriculum.

    Hi everyone,
    My name is Chen Gao. I teach both middle school and high school Mandarin classes at Foshay Learning Center. I feel so lucky to have a chance to learn more about Asia and hope I can incorporate more knowledge about Asian culture in the curriculum to enrich the learning experience of all my students.

    My name is Keshia Stiles, and I am now an 8th grade teacher in Seeley, CA (near El Centro, CA). I taught 7th grade for the last 3 years, and have been moved to 8th to follow my kids (this will be only my 4th year teaching). Since I know my kids so well, I am excited at the potential to use them as guinea pigs with adding Asia into the Early American History.

    Hello,
    My name is Linda Guthrie and I live and work in Los Angeles. I am an East Coast transplant and I bring a lot of my cultural biases from there. I teach 8th grade English and I believe in a multi-cultural curriculum since our students are living in a global village.

    Presently I teach in Chula Vista, but have also taught w/SDCS at Mission Bay. I am looking forward to expanding my own content knowledge to be able to use more examples from Asia and to reinforce that the speed of the connection is faster, but that human history is one of webs (McNeill and The Human Web).

    Hello all,
    My name is Miriam Martin and I am a Resource Specialist Teacher at Int'l Studies Learning Center HS in South Gate. I've taught for 15 years and this will be my 2nd year at the HS level. Previously I had taught at the elementary level, but quickly grew to love secondary. I'm excited to learn and gain new knowledge about Asia and with it broaden my students' perspectives and create global citizens. I support my students in all their classes and the goal is to incorporate new learnings of Asia to expand their views and curiosity of the world.

    Hello all,
    My name is Jessica Varko and I teach at Porter Ranch Community School K-8. I've taught elementary school for over 11 years in LAUSD and 2 additional years in Thailand. This upcoming year I will be changing hats, teaching Spanish 1A to a very diverse group of students. Last year, in my classroom alone, I had only 2 students that were monolingual. Most students could speak another language other than English, sometimes 3! Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog, 3 different Indian languages, Spanish, French, Arabic, Armenia, Russian, German. Oh, and we also have a Korean Dual Language program on campus!
