Learners should be familiar with muting/unmuting themselves 2. Students are invited to immerse themselves in the class and participate. Please encourage students to be open to new experiences & perspectives. Also, to get the most out of the learning experience, I ask that students refrain from being engaged in other activities that take them away from participation whether that be eating, or their phone, or other such distractions. 3. Siblings are welcome but must be enrolled in the course. Please contact me for a discount code. 4. To ensure safety, every student needs to have their camera on so I can verify the identity of the student. 5. Promptness is appreciated. Students running more than 10 minutes late should contact me about being rescheduled into another class. If no contact is made after 24 hours, there will be no availability to re-schedule. No partial refunds are available for missed class time. 6. I always have the BEST students🧡 and want every learner to have a FANTASTIC experience in class! Therefore I expect that all students conduct themselves in ways that are respectful and not disruptive to themselves, their instructor, or fellow learners.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
*Due to possible external resources used for review (approved by Outschool), this course is only available to students aged 13+
Although the primary focus of this class is NOT directly teaching History content, while reviewing and practicing Social Studies skills, trivia questions, primary source excerpts, and images students may be exposed to Historical references that may include but are not limited to: death, violence, racism, enslavement, war, genocide, disease, sexism, etc. All topics will be addressed and incorporated in an age-appropriate way but may be sensitive topics for some learners.
Because instruction is designed around your learner's needs, parents are expected to be responsive in communicating prior to the start of class so I can adequately prepare. Ideally, to provide your learner the best, most personalized experience, I need to know what your learner needs help with at least 24 hours prior to the start of their first class date, and if your child needs any particular accommodations that you feel would help them. Please expect a message upon enrollment.
If students have a study guide, a project rubric, etc. they need to adhere to or focus on for their essay or writing, that would be very helpful to bring to class and to share with me prior to the start of class.
