* Please feel free to use the auto-schedule feature! Please that class only begins with 3+ learners, so I may reach out about pushing class back if we don't have enough folks signed up! * In this fun and informative 3 part class, students will chat, collaborate, and explore how to start a business - whether real or imaginary! We will use an introductory "Business Plan Worksheet" I created to explore business topics like marketing, pricing, talking about your business, asking for help, and self awareness for business success. Students do NOT need to have a "real" business idea to participate, they can come with a hint of a business idea, an imaginary business, or something they are already working on. The main goal of this class is to expose learner to business concepts and flex the "muscle" of problem solving, so they can run these exercises again for a different business idea, if they want! This is a highly interactive class, but students can participate however they feel most comfortable (verbally, or in the chat.) If your learner does not enjoy interaction, check out my Flex class for the same age range, which contains bite size video lessons and lots of opportunities for feedback. Homework between classes is optional. No materials are needed beyond a pencil and paper, although students can print the worksheet or fill it out on their computer if they'd like. This class will only run with 3 or more learners, due to the interactive and collaborative nature of the class! Would your learner prefer on-demand videos and personalized teacher feedback within their own personal classroom? Check out my Self Paced version of this course: same content, but at YOUR pace! https://outschool.com/classes/self-paced-build-a-business-plan-with-marketing-pricing-soft-skills-RmFw8hhR?refuid=kGLE5w9M Classroom note: Students need space to wiggle and be silly! I try to be flexible and understand that everyone learns differently. It's also my responsibility to have a classroom that's not super distracting, as this can impact learning as well. These classroom guidelines help us all start from the same page, and keep class flowing well! 1) Video on or off (after verification)! Discussions can be verbal or in *on-topic* chats. 2) Be respectful; don't interrupt; raise your (physical or digital) hand! Don't intentionally distract other students (e.g. putting things directly in front of the camera) 3) Because they can be quite distracting, this class does not allow video filters, avatars, or background changes (except blur). 4) If necessary, I will move a disruptive student to the waiting room. If appropriate, I will let them back in for another chance to stay in class respectfully. If this occurs and you have questions, please reach out to Support. 5) Any racist, homophobic, body shaming, violent or inappropriate language/images will result in removal from class. If this happens, you may email outschool@support.com with any questions. A few other notes: - Please click your meeting link 2-3 minutes early so we can start class on time! - Per OS policy, if there are no students in the classroom 10 minutes after class starts, I will log off and end class. (If you're having tech issues trying to enter the classroom, just send a message or post in the classroom, so I know you are there!) - If you cannot attend, please let me know at least 24 hours before class starts, so I can transfer you to a different section (when possible). When it might not be possible: if you ask for a transfer for a multiday class the day before it starts, and your transfer will result in the class dropping below the learner minimum, I may not be able to offer a transfer. But if I can, I will! - Class recordings are not automatically shared; they will be made available when possible. Please note, new OS policy is that a learner can't watch a video until they have attended class, unless they are a verified learner. - Learners are encouraged to advocate for how they would like to participate. If your learner needs adult help (e.g. adult on screen, adult answers for child or facilitates answers, adult takes notes), please let me know in advance per OS parent guidance.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the underpinnings of a business plan, helping them hone in on what they need to work on.
