Hi, I'm Jennifer Kapral, a veteran educator of 14 years, and currently the Director of Education at Asia Society Texas Center. I LOVE the food in Houston, us Houstonians are very proud of our food scene, including several Asiatowns and cool fusion concepts, like Vietnamese Crawfish broils. I love teaching about Asia to school tour groups and in classrooms. I've traveled to China (I love Harbin!) and have cancelled a trip to Japan twice due to a typhoon, then COVID. The pandemic has made me think a lot about virtual engagement, what that looks like. and how to best check for student understanding.
