As students move through school and prepare for life after high school, they are faced with an onslaught of choices - small daily choices and much bigger choices with major consequences. Students can become overwhelmed by this, or be influenced by more confident peers to make decisions that are not in their best interest. In this course, students will learn multiple methods by which to evaluate a decision, weigh pros and cons, think of second and third order effects, and make a well-informed choice. This is part of building wisdom as a child grows up, and will help build their mature confidence. Please Note: If you don't see a section that is available below and works with your schedule, please send me a message - I will work with you to find a time that works!
Other Details
Learning Needs
I have been a special education teacher for many years, and I am more than happy to accommodate any unique learning needs for your child!
Parental Guidance
This course is intended to teach methods for decision making only. It is not a course for discussing specific choices or situations such as sex, drugs, alcohol, crime, etc. If any of these topics arise, I will gently refer the student back to their parent for discussion and I will send a message directly to the parent so that they are aware.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I will be using methods for decision making that I have learned during my six years in the military. The military has outlined specific methods for making decisions that can be utilized in civilian life, and I am looking forward to sharing that expertise with your learner!
