Amazing People From History (13-17)

Each class will consist of slides, videos, and readings. The first part of each class will be a lecture type class where I will review a mini-biography, and listen or watch any film or recordings. The second part of the class will be an open discussion of what our thoughts about that person are and what we can learn from them to implement in our own lives. 

I believe that in everything that we read and learn about there is something that we can implement in our own lives to help us achieve our goals.

I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.

I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills, learner experience, and knowledge. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism. 

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
