My name is Aileen Level, and I teach middle school Social Studies at Yavneh Academy. I'm very interested in learning more about the history of east Asia.

[font='Times New Roman']ts so comfortable to see Familiar faces taking this workshop after the previous two. There is a common interest that pulls us to learn more about [/font]East Asia[font='Times New Roman'], and although the stipend is a grateful reward, we really are here because we want to.[/font][font='Times New Roman'] [/font][font='Times New Roman']When this school year started, I was ready to give up the Chinese Culture Club, but weird things happen and suddenly a bunch of kids wanted it back, and where there is demand there is supply. When I received the invitation to join this workshop again, I had no doubts that this is what I need it to recharge my battery. The brand new Chinese Culture Club started and plans for field trips and fundraisers started. I’m happy to be back here.[/font]

Hello everyone. This is Steven Traylor signing in. I teach U.S. History at West Adams Preparatory H.S. I think this class is extremely valuable as a tool for bridging the gap between where my students are and what they need to know about east Asia today. I am constantly looking for ways to incorporate east Asian topics in my U.S. History classes.
