What's included
24 live meetings
18 in-class hoursHomework
4+ hours per week. 🕔 If a student must miss a live video meeting or needs to turn in homework later due to illness, family situations, or other circumstances, I completely understand. I kindly request that the parent sends me a direct private message at least 2 hours before the live online class, if possible. I can still post their homework for the day(s) they miss. It's important to note that, as per Outschool's policy, there are no refunds for a student missing a live meeting. If the student doesn't join within 10 minutes of the live meeting, the meeting will be canceled for that day. Unfortunately, I don't conduct makeup sessions for missed live meetings, but I'll continue to assign homework in the Outschool classroom for them to complete by the due date. Given the nature of homeschooling, there will be a substantial amount of homework, and parents should be actively involved. 🧑🏫 Students will receive instruction, guidance, coaching, learning, and homework assignments from me through live online sessions. I'll also post weekly guidance and homework assignments in the Outschool Classroom. Full participation in the live video meetings and the Outschool Classroom is crucial for effective learning. ⏩ This is an accelerated semester class. Students will work independently from me most of the time, engaging with the textbook, crafting essays, creating videos or other projects, and completing lesson reviews for both subjects. ✨ Heavy parent involvement is absolutely necessary to help students manage their homeschool schedule for homework and to provide support to their teen. ✨ 🎒 Weekly Assignment Homework: Although I'm available seven days a week via private message to assist your teen with questions, provide additional guidance, coaching, and more, parent help and involvement are not just allowed but required because this is homeschooling, and most state laws hold parents legally responsible. Parents will need to assist their teen in planning their schedules to complete homework on time, help them with their assignments, and ensure all homework is completed each week. Homework includes the following: All Homework and Reviews are OPEN BOOK. 1. We cover one full chapter per week in both subjects. Each chapter contains 3 to 7 lessons, and students must complete a lesson review for every lesson. The lesson reviews include vocabulary words, skill practice, skill review, and sometimes writing practice, typically featuring 8 to 15 questions per lesson. Students can write their answers on notebook paper, in a Word document, or they can print out the lesson reviews from the PDF of the textbook that I provide. Students will read their answers during our next live meeting, and these assignments are due within one week. This applies to both subjects, and these assignments are graded. However, if there are issues with this method, some lessons can be turned into projects (see #3 below). 2. The Chapter Review at the end of each chapter must also be completed, either by writing answers on notebook paper, a Word document, or a printout of the material from the PDF textbook. Your teen will read off their answers in the next live meeting, which means this is due in one week. This is open book and graded. 3. Most weeks, but not all, your teen will be assigned a project. This might involve writing an essay, a short story, or a poem (on a Word document), creating a video slideshow (via Canva or Adobe Express), or a digital photo collage. This allows for creativity and fun. Only Canva or Adobe Express may be used for video slideshows. Both programs are free. Google Docs and Google Slides are not permitted. You can find free document programs such as Open Office, Libre, and more via an internet search. This work is graded. Please refer to the Supply List section for more information. After reviewing your teen's homework answers verbally, we will engage in in-depth discussions about the chapters studied. I'll pose questions to your teen, and they can reciprocate. This approach greatly helps in fully absorbing new knowledge, connecting it with prior knowledge, ensuring comprehension, and fostering analysis. We will then introduce the next chapter, the new homework, and, if time allows, I'll initiate the first lesson with them. One of my teaching philosophies is to teach students how to learn. In many assignments, students may be asked to answer extra questions based on their initial responses, requiring them to conduct research on the internet and share their findings. During the final week, a comprehensive semester exam will be administered for both subjects. This exam will account for 20% of your teen's final grade, but it's important to note that the exams are open book. The exam can be tailored to your teen's preferred method of learning and demonstrating their knowledge. The purpose of this exam is to gauge their ability to comprehend, analyze, infer, discuss, and make informed conclusions about the material.Progress Report
🗃️ Your teen will have their lesson reviews, chapter reviews, slideshow projects, and writing assignments graded each week for each subject. I send grades for this class every week through private messaging to parents, along with comments, to facilitate parental monitoring of their student's progress. I highly value and appreciate weekly feedback from parents. At the very least, parents should acknowledge the receipt of the grades I send. Parents and students can reach out to me at any time through direct messaging, and I'll respond the same day or, if not, by the next morning, seven days a week, except on holidays.Certificate of Completion
🎓 I award 2 full-year high school credits for English and 2 full-year high school credits for Social Studies, as well as an overall grade for both subjects at the end of the class. Four certificates of completion will be sent to the parent via private message (2 certificates for each subject, each showing 1 credit). Depending on your homeschool laws or charter school requirements, you can use this class as 4 year-long credits, as the class is accelerated and packed with educational content. The overall grade is based on the following criteria: 1. The level of participation in discussions during weekly lesson reviews, chapter reviews, discussions of the chapters read, bonus projects, and essays in the live meetings. 2. The number of correct answers on their lesson reviews and chapter reviews while taking into account their individual learning abilities and needs. 3. The degree of participation and thoroughness in their work and research on projects and essays (if assigned). 4. A final semester exam, accounting for 20% of your teen's final grade, will be administered for both subjects during the final week. These exams are open book and can be adapted to your teen's preferred learning and demonstration method. The purpose of the exam is to assess their ability to comprehend, analyze, infer, discuss, and arrive at informed conclusions about the material. The certificate of completion will include the student's first name, "Outschool," the course name, the course end date, my full name and title as the Outschool teacher, and a final letter grade ranging from A to D-. It's important to note that I do not fail any students, as I believe that regardless of their level of involvement, they have learned something from the class. A = Excellent B = Great C = Satisfactory D = Needs Improvement 📁 For your homeschool portfolio teacher evaluation in your state, I highly recommend keeping PDFs of the textbooks to demonstrate all the subjects learned from each textbook and your student's graded work from me. These are crucial items to retain, including their written textbook material in Word documents, videos, projects from the Outschool classroom, and all saved assignments on your student's computer, in addition to the saved PDFs of the textbooks themselves. I strongly advise your teen to save everything to a Flash or Zip drive rather than their computer, as I won't be able to send you any of the material once the class is over.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 10
Intermediate Level
🤠 Howdy and welcome to my High School Homeschool Complete Academic Curriculum! This semester, we're combining 9th and 10th-grade English and Social Studies in a dynamic, 12-week class, meeting twice weekly. I’m absolutely thrilled by your interest and extend a warm welcome to you and your teen! 🛑 Please note: This class is specifically designed for homeschooled teens in the USA and is offered by request only. Please hold off on enrolling your teen until we’ve had a quick chat to discuss class details and ensure it’s the best fit. After reviewing all the class info and watching the video, feel free to message me with any questions or interest. I’ll get back to you within 36 hours. ✨ This unique class is offered only twice a year—fall and spring—on a first-come, first-served basis for just one student per session! Since homeschooling regulations vary by state, I can’t guarantee this class fulfills high school credit requirements. Be sure to check your state’s homeschooling laws before enrolling. This course requires active parental support, as well as a readiness from teens for substantial independent work. 🪧 Class Schedule: Mondays and Tuesdays, 1:00 pm to 1:45 pm (Eastern Time), with the second semester available Mondays and Tuesdays from 2:30 pm to 3:15 pm. Due to my full teaching schedule, I’m unable to accommodate alternate times—thank you for understanding! *Starting January 2026 the second semester class will be from 2:00pm to 2:45pm ⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫ 😁 Here's how my homeschool program works... At Outschool, we break free from traditional schooling! Designed for homeschooled teens, I create adaptable classes tailored to each student’s abilities and needs. Differentiated instruction and assessment are at the core of my teaching, and I strive to support teens and their families with a flexible, warm, and enthusiastic approach. ❓ Many parents are unsure how to tackle homeschooling high school subjects. This course is here to help answer questions and cover challenging areas like government, advanced math, chemistry, writing, science, and social studies. My four-part program is your guide! 🏫 Rethink High School! We move beyond fixed semesters and time frames. Instead, high school credit is based on mastery of knowledge, not weeks spent in class. This approach enables students to accelerate their learning if they’re ready. Check your state’s requirements to ensure you meet home education criteria. This class covers the first semester of 9th and 10th-grade English and Social Studies. With only one slot per session, each student receives personalized instruction with engaging materials beyond standard textbooks, making learning both rigorous and fun! 🤔 Here’s how it all works: I combine 9th and 10th-grade studies across two semesters. This semester includes English I & II (2 credits) and Social Studies (2 credits), providing 4 credits. In the second semester, a separate class, we focus on Math (2 credits) and Science (2 credits) for a total of 8 full-year credits. For 11th and 12th grades, students continue with English III & IV, Social Studies, Higher Math, and Higher Sciences. 🕑 Weekly Live Sessions: Classes meet live 1.5 weekly, divided into two 45 min. sessions. Students also work independently on assignments, including creative projects like slideshows, photo collages, and online posters. All work is graded with differentiated assessments to match each student’s learning style. 📚 Your teen receives free PDFs of two textbooks—one for English and one for Social Studies. We accelerate learning by distilling essential topics into streamlined chapters. • 📝 ENGLISH I & II • 🌍 SOCIAL STUDIES I & II I’m available via direct messaging for both students and parents, usually responding within a day. My mission is to support your teen’s journey to success! 👀 Explore Additional Electives: Each elective class provides grades and credits, contributing to a high school transcript. See my Outschool profile for more! 💻 The First Meeting: We’ll use our initial session to get to know each other, allowing your teen to introduce themselves, share their interests, and discuss learning goals. Then, I’ll give a quick pre-test to assess their starting point and tailor the curriculum accordingly. We’ll dive into how our class operates, including assignments, projects, and what to expect week by week. 📚 Tuition covers all live sessions, weekly assignments, projects, and quizzes, plus my time for lesson planning, grading, and providing feedback. I’m actively present in the classroom and available to respond to messages 7 days a week. 🔁 Teaching Approach: I use a “flipped classroom” model, where students complete assignments independently, then share their insights during live sessions. We work together in a collaborative, open atmosphere, diving deep into discoveries and questions. 🍂 Fall Semester: FALL BREAK - 4th full week of November (Thanksgiving, USA) 🌷 Spring Semester: SPRING BREAK - 1st full week of March No charges apply during these breaks. Students also get a quick 5-minute break during each live session to keep the class lively and comfortable. I'm here to support your student, inspire a love of learning, and adapt instruction to fit their unique needs. If you have questions or need more details, please reach out through direct messaging, and I’ll reply within 48 hours. 🎒 This course is challenging and accelerated, ideal for students with good time management, self-motivation, and an ability to work independently (with a little parental support). I’m always available for guidance and answer questions promptly. 😔 Note on Scheduling: Due to demand, I offer this course once per semester only. If the current class is full, please contact me to join the next available session. I'm open to feedback and adjustments, so please feel free to reach out with any thoughts on supporting your student’s success. And if you’d like a more personal introduction, consider joining me for “Dr. Kafferly’s Office: A 1:1 One-Time Meeting,” where you and your teen can meet with me privately. 🌟 Be sure to review the Syllabus, Homework, and Parental Guidance sections below, along with the refund policy. 📚

Learning Needs
🫴 I support unique learning needs by incorporating various teaching methods, offer flexible assignments, flexible due dates, additional resources, & fostering an inclusive environment. I also communicate regularly with students & parents.
Parental Guidance
🚨 IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You may need to have a certified teacher in your state review your student's portfolio (including their written textbook material on Word documents, videos, projects from the Outschool classroom, saved assignments on your student's computer, and saved PDFs of the textbooks) along with the certificate of completion and letter grade that I send to help comply with your state's home education laws if you are homeschooling. To safeguard these materials, I **HIGHLY recommend that your teen saves EVERYTHING to a Flash or Zip drive instead of their computer** because, once the class ends, I won't be able to send you any of the material.
Please carefully review your state's home education laws and requirements before enrolling your teen learner. While I have taught these classes in accordance with Florida's home education laws, and all of my past students have successfully graduated, I or Outschool cannot be held responsible for maintaining your teen's home education portfolio or grades. We cannot review transcripts or perform portfolio evaluations for homeschooling, nor can we guarantee that this class will satisfy your state's home education laws or your charter school's policies or count for high school credit. Please check your state's and/or charter school's requirements. Remember, you are solely responsible for homeschooling your teen under your state's laws. I am here to help educate your teen learner, but parental involvement is absolutely necessary.
💰 Note about the tuition:
This class's tuition structure can be a bit confusing. The total weekly tuition covers not only the two 45 to 75 minute weekly live video meetings but also includes the weekly assignments, projects, and quizzes completed in the classroom by your student. It also accounts for my weekly lesson planning, grading of homework, research, participating in the weekly assignments, projects, and quizzes by providing feedback, additional content, guidance, and deeper questions, responding to both student and parent private messages within 36 hours, and offering private guidance and help for your student. I am personally present in the classroom, working to support your student and answering private messages seven days a week throughout the entire duration of the class.
Essentially, the weekly charge is $80, which includes the two live meetings and all the work that goes on behind the scenes. Outschool also deducts 30% of the total tuition for its expenses. I'm sorry, but I do not permit requests for a transfer to another date and time for this class. The only circumstance under which I could consider an exception would be if there were a tragic event affecting your learner or your family and not after the first week.
Please note Outschool's Attendance Policy: If your learner misses a class meeting, you are not entitled to a refund. If your learner misses 3 consecutive class live meetings without communicating with the teacher, you forfeit the class fee, and the teacher may cancel the class or withdraw your learner.
Please note Outschool's Refund Policy: Refund within 24 hours of payment until your next meeting or lesson access begins. This means that you will not receive a refund for the class 24 hours after your purchase no matter when the first live meeting of the class begins. Transfer requests to another class are also unavailable.
Parents may need to assist their students in creating an account for Adobe and Canva, review with them how to create slideshows, presentations, and photo collages, and show their students how to save documents for various assignments or projects as .doc, .docx, or .pdf files to be attached in the classroom. Parents may also need to help their students with homework assigned by me.
🚸 FROM OUTSCHOOL...
We stand with learners. We are all learners.
At Outschool, we commit to standing with all learners by fostering a diverse and multicultural community, where differences are honored, welcomed, and accepted. With education as the catalyst and technology as the tool, we are uniquely positioned to connect learners to experiences that broaden their understanding of themselves and the world around them through our collective love for learning.
At Outschool, we strive to be OUTstanding by fostering a global online community, elevating unique voices, and transforming the way we work and learn.
At Outschool, we are all learners. We are curious and continuously interrogate the inequities created by systemic oppression on education and learning. We have the opportunity to evolve education by creating a marketplace that reflects and respects the lived experiences of historically ignored communities.
This work is never done. To ensure equity across multiple lines of difference and experiences, we maintain a bias toward transformative action.
Here’s what action looks like for Outschool.
Diversity
We intentionally include fair representation of different social identities–including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, social class, physical ability or attributes, and learning needs.
Equity
We implement processes to ensure inclusion and procedures to eliminate barriers or imbalances that keep community members from having equal opportunities.
Inclusion
Outschool cultivates an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, supported, and valued.
Belonging
We create a sense of connection through meaningful experiences by connecting people, ideas, and resources.
While our open community is our greatest source of strength, it also brings challenges. It is important to us that Outschool is a safe space for our users. Our members should treat each other without bias or prejudice across all pillars of diversity, including race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, and gender identity. Please find below Outschool's Parent and Learner guidelines that we ask our members to observe. Outschool members who do not meet these guidelines may be removed from the site.
🧑 PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Ensure that learners only attend class under their own enrollment, using their own identity, and refrain from using their sibling’s or another learner’s enrollment to attend class.
2. Provide all required details and fill out the learner's profile with accurate information. This may include age, gender preference, and any notes that the educator may need to know about your learner.
3. Ensure learners attend their classes and promptly notify the educator if they must miss a live meeting.
4. Offer constructive feedback about your class experience, for the benefit of the teacher and other parents, in both reviews and private messages.
5. Engage in civil conversation, respecting different opinions, and communicate through Outschool.
6. Keep personal information private and never share personal information such as email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, gamer tags, social media, etc.
🎒 LEARNER CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Join classes on time and be prepared for learning.
2. Be kind, respectful, safe, and engage in a respectful manner in all class interactions. Dress appropriately and maintain good behavior during class meetings.
3. Keep personal information private and avoid asking other learners for their personal information.
4. Engage, participate, and take responsibility for creating a great learning experience for yourself and your classmates.
🏫 OUTSCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCT:
1. Outschool aims to be a safe space for members from diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and locations.
2. We value feedback from parents, teachers, and learners and will make changes based on that feedback.
3. We create and enforce policies to ensure a high-quality, trusted, and safe community for learning.
4. We respond promptly to questions and issues that arise.
⚠️ Important Notes for Parents:
1. Outschool's Refund Policy: "Refund within 24 hours of payment until your next meeting or lesson access begins". This means that you will NOT receive a refund if you withdraw or request to withdraw your teen student for any reason 24 hours after you've enrolled them & made payment. There are no transfers to another class time or another class.
2. Outschool's Attendance Policy: If your learner misses a live class meeting, you are not entitled to a refund. If your learner misses 3 consecutive live class meetings without communicating with the teacher, you forfeit the class fee, and the teacher may cancel the class or withdraw your learner.
3. I value your feedback and suggestions. I'm open to making modifications during the course to better meet your teen's needs. Reach out to me through private direct messaging on Outschool to have a constructive conversation about any comments, concerns, or suggestions you may have. Communication between the teacher and the parent is key!
4. Please be aware that if there are no students after the first 10 minutes of the live online class, that day's class will be canceled. Our live meetings are scheduled for 75 minutes, but the duration may vary. Your teen's engagement is key!
Supply List
Students will need all of the following supplies before the first live meeting: 1.) A free PDF of all three of the ABE/GED textbooks will be available to you. They will be posted to the Outschool classroom, along with important announcements and further information, 1 day prior to the first live meeting. If you wish to search online and order a hard copy of the textbook (which I highly recommend) here is the information so that you may order yours: ABE/GED Textbook 1: "Common Core Basics Writing Core Subject Module" by McGraw-Hill ISBN-13: 9780076575220 ABE/GED Textbook 2: "Common Core Basics Reading Core Subject Module" by McGraw-Hill ISBN-13: 9780076575206 ABE/GED Textbook 3: "Common Core Basics Social Studies Core Subject Module" by McGraw-Hill ISBN 13: 9780076575213 The textbooks are a foundation of our studies, not all of the common core elements are used. Students will need to know how to record a video of themselves in the Outschool classroom, or record a video on their own computer and post it to the Outschool classroom for projects, please. 2.) Students will need to have and know how to use a word document program. Students will sometimes be submitting short essays or answers on a document in some questions, projects, or quizzes, and attach them as a file. Documents will need to end in a .doc, .docx, or .pdf format. Parents may need to help students learn how to save a word document in these formats. Links to Google slides, docs, or any other online work document programs are not allowed. Free downloadable Word Document programs are available such as Open Office, WPS, Ultra Office, Libre, Neat Note, and more by doing a search on Google. 3.) Create free Adobe, Canva, and/or Google Slides accounts to make virtual posters (.jpg), and online slideshows (.mp4), download them to their computer and then upload them to the classroom as an attachment. Parents may need to assist their students in creating an account for Adobe Spark and/or Canva and review the different ways to create slideshows, presentations, and photo collages. This is a creative way for students to give their answers to homework and allows for their self-expression instead of just typing out answers. You can make an Adobe account very easily by using this link: https://spark.adobe.com/. Students may also use Canva too. Here is the link for a free Canva account: https://www.canva.com/. Parents may also need to assist their learners in creating their Schoology Classroom account. It is important that the student become familiar with these materials before class begins, please.

Doctoral Degree in Religious Studies from Ashford University
Master's Degree in Education from Ashford University
Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Ashford University
Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences from Ashford University
I hold dual Bachelor's degrees in Social Sciences with a focus on Education and Criminal Justice, complemented by a Master's degree in Education with an emphasis on Curriculum Specialization, as well as a Doctorate in Philosophy.
With over 11 years of teaching experience, I have effectively instructed high school students from grades 9 to 12, fostering their academic growth in an online setting through platforms such as Skype and asynchronous messaging on discussion boards. I have provided comprehensive education covering subjects such as English, Language Arts, Writing, Sciences, Social Studies, Mathematics, and various elective courses. During this time, my students consistently achieved above-average grades and developed a genuine enthusiasm for learning. Importantly, all of my students have successfully met the educational requirements outlined in their respective states, enabling them to advance to college. My passion lies in guiding students to achieve their full potential, encouraging them to delve deep into subjects and think critically, thereby setting them on a path towards successful adulthood.
My teaching methodology encompasses a spectrum of educational theories, including constructivism, humanism, realism, and idealism. Moreover, I integrate brain-based learning techniques, ensuring that my pedagogical approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. This innovative teaching style has been rigorously researched, supported by statistical data, and proven effective not only in traditional brick-and-mortar schools but also in the context of virtual education. This progressive teaching philosophy is rooted in my academic training, acquired during my master's and doctoral programs in higher education.
I believe in customizing instruction to suit each student's unique abilities and requirements. My approach is characterized by kindness, adaptability, friendliness, compassion, understanding, and flexibility. I employ the "flipped classroom" model, in which students engage with assignments before the live sessions. In these live meetings, students transition into the role of teachers, sharing their new discoveries, intriguing findings, and significant insights. I actively participate in these discussions, supplementing their contributions with additional valuable information. This collective learning experience aligns with the principles of the "open classroom" model, in which we collaboratively pursue the shared goal of learning and enjoying the educational process. Together, we analyze and draw conclusions from the assignments and prepare for the upcoming week, including guidance and assignments to be completed in the form of the next chapter in each subject.
As contemporary educators, we recognize the limitations of lengthy lectures in live meetings, a more traditional approach to teaching. Instead, we engage with our students through dialogues and interactive discussions. This interaction is more effective as students absorb information and feel a greater sense of involvement. We are trained to assume the roles of coaches, guides, and mentors to our students, addressing their individual needs while fostering a sense of community in the class. I often guide our discussions by posing specific questions to students, encouraging them to share their newfound knowledge, and ensuring that the timing of these discussions maximizes their educational impact. The questions I ask are carefully chosen to transform moments into valuable learning opportunities.
The semester's curriculum, encompassing two subjects, is designed to be advanced and accelerated. Students will be required to practice effective time management and maintain a high level of motivation. Beyond conveying subject matter through traditional homework assignments, projects, videos, and live meeting discussions, my educational approach extends to teaching students how to learn. When students pose questions, I may task them with online research to uncover answers. I guide them towards reliable online resources to find solutions. A similar process may be applied when reviewing student homework, where I pose additional questions that require supplemental online research beyond the textbook. Through this pedagogical method, I aim to enhance students' capacity and desire to learn, equipping them with essential skills for lifelong learning. My goal is to empower them to take control of their education, a significant and valuable skill if leveraged correctly.Reviews
