Students should expect to have a fun time with others while providing other learners tips and tricks they have mastered during gameplay. I will teach back and forth communication skills, how to stay positive when things don't go our way, and teamwork. This class is learner-directed so the topics might change based on the skill level that the learners have or game-based topics they want to discuss. I love playing Among Us and have logged over 300 hours and have it on every device I can, I will use that knowledge when teaching this class. Please note that if your learner uses the same device for both Zoom and the game, that their video will not show up, however the audio will for social interaction with their classmates. Week 1: Students will discuss their favorite character color and then join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communication and social skills. We will join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communications and social skills Week 2: Students will discuss their favorite maps and why they chose that. We will join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communications and social skills Week 3: Students will discuss gameplay strategies. We will join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communication and social skills. Week 4: Students will discuss their favorite role to play as (Imposter or Crewmate). We will join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communication and social skills. Disclaimer: The weekly summary can change as this is a learner-directed class so the topics change depending on what is happening in-game, whether that be updates to the game or actual gameplay. The majority of this class will be spent playing Among Us and using our communication skills (I will provide prompting and help guide students with participation when needed). This class is open to all students with all levels of abilities but is taught with accommodations in mind for those students who need extra support with learning.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am Autistic and know that for students like me, learning needs to be visual and fun! I have taught disabled students and student-athletes for over 8 years. As a teacher, I love involving topics of high interest in learning, which helps my students stay focused. I will always involve all students in-class participation and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I know some students can be shy or need time to open up and that's ok! If your learner needs any accommodations in class, I am more than happy to help.Reviews
