Homework is used as a resource for students to deepen their background and understanding of a topic that they will engage with in class. Homework is optional, and feedback or grades for assignments will be provided upon request. I am flexible to work with any accommodations or modifications that may be required. Please reach out to me personally to discuss what is best for your child regarding homework or grades.Assessment
Tests are a snapshot of student understanding at a particular moment and are not the ultimate measure of a child's abilities. They serve as markers to identify areas for improvement and to help guide a students' learning journey. Assessments in this course will be take-home and are not mandatory, allowing you to focus on learning at your own pace. Feedback and a grade will be provided, but a cumulative grade will only be offered at parent request.Grading
Assignment feedback will always be provided, but a cumulative grade for a project or the class will be provided at parent request. Parents who request a grade for their child's performance in the course will receive a breakdown of individual assignment grades, and a cumulative end grade for the semester.Class Experience
US Grade 7
In Part II of this year-long social studies course, students will continue to explore major global events, from the World Wars to contemporary global issues. Topics include the World Wars and Interwar Period, the Cold War and Decolonization, and the Contemporary World. The course is structured into units, with a mix of lectures, discussions, interactive activities, independent assignments, and assessments. I will teach using a combination of multimedia resources, including slides, video clips, primary source documents, and games to keep students actively involved and excited about learning. My teaching style emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to ask questions, think critically, and make connections between historical events and the present day. Meeting twice weekly for an hour, students will have frequent opportunities to interact with me and their peers through both direct instruction from me, as well as group discussions, collaborative projects, and classroom debates. These interactions are designed to foster a supportive learning environment where all students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and perspectives. Additionally, I will provide targeted support and accommodations to ensure that all students can fully participate and succeed in the course. **This course will begin in January and include two weeks off in March, and will end in May. Specific dates and meeting times are listed in the class sections.**
