“The students who enroll in my chemistry classes are usually 30% or more Korean or Korean American. I would like to learn more about Korean culture and education in order for me to better understand the expectations of my students and their parents.”
Reasons for Attending a KAFE Workshop
“I have recently started working with more Korean students and find myself not very knowledgeable about their culture. I also read Helie Lee’s “Still Life with Rice” and felt that this seminar would be a wonderful opportunity to meet the author and to learn from her as well.”
"I often see my Korean and Korean American students struggle with differences between their parents’ culture and the culture of their teenage peers, and would like to be more sensitive to their needs in this regard."
