Come join us as we learn about women who made their mark on the world. Each week I will present interesting facts and information in an interactive presentation. Students will be encouraged to participate in conversations about what makes these women special and unique. Students will be challenged to think about how they can make their own impact on the world using the character traits they have and that they see in these women. During the week students will be presented with additional readings and information if they would like it. This will be done in the Outschool classroom. Students will be encouraged to share what they know and what they have learned. This is ongoing. So you can enroll and withdraw at any time during the course! Drop-in each week or for the women that interest your learner. ** I have another section for younger learners if you are interested.** Week of Woman to Study Sept 6 Althea Gibson 13-Sep Amanda Gorman 20-Sep Amelia Earhart 27-Sep Annie Oakley 4-Oct Aung San Suu Kyi 11-Oct Bessie Coleman 18-Oct Catherine the Great 25-Oct Cleopatra 1-Nov Clara Barton 8-Nov Coco Chanel 15-Nov Eleanor of Aquitaine 22-Nov Eleanor Roosevelt 29-Nov Elizabeth Blackwell, M.D. 6-Dec Elizabeth I 13-Dec Eva Perón 20-Dec Fannie Lou Hamer 27-Dec Florence Nightingale 3-Jan Gertrude Bell 10-Jan Golda Meir 17-Jan Harriet Tubman 24-Jan Ida B.

Hi there! I am so excited to be here and offering both technology courses and ELA themed courses. I have many great options coming to you as I build more classes.
I have been a teacher for 15 years and have taught from Kindergarten- 8th grade in public schools. In these experiences, I have taught all subjects but am the most energized and passionate about teaching ELA (reading, phonics, vocabulary, etc.). Additionally, I am a Microsoft Innovated Educator Trainer and have a lot of training and teaching experience with Microsoft. I have a master's degree in Learning and Technology.
My belief is that students who feel good learn best. Students who feel valued by their teacher and feel like they are an integral part of the class want to participate and engage in the materials. Building relationships is key to success.
Dogs make me so happy! We currently have four. They are always by my side and eager for all the love they can get. I have two amazing teenagers and a hard-working husband. I look forward to developing a relationship with you and your child!Reviews
