Howdy!

[Duane Johansen]

Hello, everyone. I'm Duane Johansen, a humanities instructor at the Excel Center in Kokomo, Indiana. My school is a special school run by Goodwill Industries that helps adults get the work done that they need to finish their high school diplomas. We are an accredited public/private cooperative charter school. I teach integrated language arts/social studies classes, including two levels of combined English/World Civilizations classes. This summer, I was honored to be among ten teachers chosen for a study tour of South Korea via Indiana University. I have done many seminars related to East Asia and Korea and am on the editorial board of the magazine Education About Asia. I am the father of three wonderful sons ranging in age from 15-23, and I have one cat who doesn't like other people.
