In the late spring of 2020, I began offering one-time anger management tools classes on Outschool. In these classes, I've helped students understand that if you are human, you get angry sometimes. Our challenge is in learning how to regulate our behavior when we get angry. These classes have proven so popular that parents have asked if I'd create a recurring anger management class, an activity in which students would have multiple sessions to learn about and reinforce anger management tools. This 4-week class will follow this basic outline: WEEK ONE: - Anger is Normal - Anger & Our Brains - Anger Drill Introduction WEEK TWO: - Anger Drill Review & Reinforcement - Anger Triggers - Behavior Strategies WEEK THREE: - Anger Drill Review & Reinforcement - Negativity Bias - STEB Model (Situation, Thoughts, Emotions, Behavior) WEEK FOUR: - Anger Drill Review & Reinforcement - Positivity, Kindness, & Compassion - Next Steps Like feeling joy and love, humans feel things like sadness and anger. In this class, students will have the opportunity to recognize that their strong feelings are not a sign of weakness or frailty, but part of the human condition AND that they have more control over their responses than they might think. While the conversation in this class is English, it is also ESL friendly, appropriate for CEFR: A2, B1, B2, and beyond. Having learners from different countries and backgrounds helps expand our opportunities to connect with and respect others. Please note, this class is not a replacement for therapy. ----- A NOTE ABOUT THE COST OF THIS CLASS: I know the price of my classes is higher than many others on Outschool. As an experienced and talented educator, I believe I'm worth this amount and invite you to look at my reviews. That said, I don't want any family to be priced out of what I offer. Whatever your financial situation, if you're interested in one or more of my classes, please reach out and let me know what you can afford. I can provide coupons, refunds, and/or reductions, and am confident we can find an equitable rate that works for you and me.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Washington Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Master's Degree from Pacific Oaks College
I've been certified to teach in Washington State since 1990 (including endorsements in special education from preschool through high school) and have taught in multiple settings. In 1984 at age 21, I was named Big Brother of the Year in King County, the most populous county in Washington, for my volunteer work with a 3rd-grade boy. As the founding director of the Puget Sound Community School in 1994, where I served as Executive Director for 24 years, I've been a pioneer in social & emotional learning. Most significantly, I have a knack for engaging children who feel consistently respected and buoyed by these interactions.
