As a teacher and administrator for 30 years, Gail Whang worked tirelessly to create safe and supportive learning environments. She pioneered a district-wide conflict resolution program within the Oakland Unified School District Program, co-authored two books about cross-age tutoring and literature study circles in a multicultural classroom, and several publications that explored issues of diversity within the schools.
Gail lives in Oakland with her husband, a retired math teacher. She is the mother of 3 sons and has 2 grandchildren. When she is not gallivanting around the world with her husband, you might find Gail hiking in the Oakland hills, milking goats at an urban Oakland farm, or doing her daily qigong practice at her local park. She is committed to growing vegetables, cooking organic meals, and promoting lifelong wellness.
