Hello Firebirds! My name is Casey Chen (谌可心), the Mandarin teacher for middle school Mandarin 1-2 (Mandarin Specials) and one section of Mandarin Language Arts in the Mandarin Immersion Program. I grew up in a city called Xiamen, which is located in southeastern China. I attended graduate school at Indiana University Bloomington and earned one Master's Degree in Chinese Pedagogy and one Master's Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I started my teaching career in 2014, and before joining Gavilan Peak School, I taught middle school and upper school Mandarin Chinese classes at Phoenix Country Day School for six years. I look forward to having fun Chinese classes with all my students and helping them become lifelong learners!
