Hi there! My name is Stephanie Coffey and I teach chemistry and AP biology at Downtown Magnets High School. I am really excited for this series of seminars!
Hello! My name is Katie Villegas and I am a history teacher at Eagle Rock Jr/Sr High. I am excited to join this seminar because I not only teach the IB DP History, I also teach 7th grade history. Much of the 7th grade curriculum is Japan and China so I hope to gain more insight to better teach that age group.

My name is Buckley Mitchell, I teach high school math up in Granada Hills at the Valley Academy of Arts and Science. A far way away, but I live down in South LA, so USC is pretty close to home. Looking forward to seeing how I can get some East Asia history up in my math classes!
Hi there, My name is Gabrielle Brayton and I am a 6th grade Humanities teacher in mid-city Los Angeles. We have not previously studied China although we are looking at Ancient Civilizations. I am looking forward to factoring Ancient China into our curriculum next year. See you tonight!
Hi Everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing you all later today. I work with Catherine at the institute and I am the lead instructor for the seminar. I am excited about this chance to explore pre-1800 East Asia with you. My own interest in Asia began when I was an undergrad in San Diego a very long time ago. I am a historian by training and I have taught at the secondary, community college and university level. I look forward to getting to know you and hearing from you as you learn more about East Asia and especially as you think of ways to bring more of Asia to your students.
