** THIS IS A FLEX CLASS AND DOES NOT HAVE LIVE MEETINGS*** It is never too early to start thinking about a career. It is okay at the end of this lesson to say "this career path is not for me." By exploring careers, you will learn what areas spark your enthusiasm and interest. In this 4 week flex class, students will identify their interest and match the career by completing self assessment surveys. Each class (1x per week) will include a lecture-style, coached-typed video and an interactive portion of the class. Every week I will post a recorded lesson in the classroom where I will provide a short lecture and discuss the assignment for the week. Students should be prepared to have all worksheets printed for the week's lesson along with something to take notes with. I will engage students in a classroom discussion question weekly. I will discuss the questions in the classroom. Students are expected to join the discussion by answering the question(s) and replying to, at least (1) person in the classroom, me or another student. Students will be taught communication, social & civic responsibility, employability skills through discovering different career options of their interest. The class will be structured through lecture, worksheets, and research of careers. Life skills are a viable importance for our youth as they begin the transition in post-secondary education and adulthood. Students will make a career portfolio presentation by developing a brief career portfolio to include items required by the teacher. 1. Choose an occupation related to a career inventory or assessment. 2. Develop a synopsis of education requirements and skills needed in the chosen occupation. 3. Identify available course options that support the selected occupation. 4. Summarize available work-based learning opportunities for the chosen occupation. A flex class is a fun and convenient way for learners to explore their career interest because everyone is unique and has different interest. At the end of this lesson students will record a presentation sharing their chosen career with the class.

Summarize available work-based learning opportunities for the chosen occupation. How is your class structured? My class is structure to be a stress free, fun, and interactive learning environment to accommodate different learning styles and abilities. How will you teach? I will teach using slide presentation, interactive games and discussion for question and answer sessions. What's your teaching style? I believe that every child learns differently. I do my best to accommodate individual learning styles. Any required experience or knowledge learners need? No prior knowledge is needed.

🍎 Mrs. Lauren - I'm a K-8 certified teacher in the state of Michigan and have been a teacher since 2011. I have a Masters degree in Teaching and Curriculum with an Educational Technology concentration and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Both degrees are from Michigan State University. I'm also a Google Certified Educator, both Levels 1 and 2.
I taught K-8 Computer and PreK-5 Library classes at a private school in southeast Michigan from 2016-2021. In my teaching career, I also have experience in middle school Math and English Language Arts, along with the general elementary classroom. On Outschool, I have taught various technology classes since summer 2020, including typing/keyboarding, Google Slides design, and coding.
I'm very passionate about technology in education and I love teaching young students about all sorts of tech programs and skills - typing and word processing, slide shows and other presentations, graphic design, spreadsheets, website creation, video editing, coding, and more. My goal is to help students build new tech skills, apply them in creative ways, and have lots of fun while learning!
🍎Mrs. Lisa T. - Hello, my name is Mrs. Lisa and I'm an experienced educator with a diverse background. My areas of expertise and certification include Kindergarten through 6th grade teacher, 7th and 8th grade all four core areas, Gifted and Talented Teacher and Director of Education, Special Education Grades 4 through 12 specialist as well as building principal for PreK through 8th grade. During Covid shutdowns and quarantines I discovered that my students and I loved the online platform. I taught in a one to one school. Every student had a laptop as well as a school hotspot if their family asked for one. I chose not to do the minimum "office hours" as my school required. I felt this did not meet my students' needs. I ran an online classroom during regular school hours as well as recorded the class for those students who were unable to connect with us or needed to hear the lesson more than once. My experience as a principal resulted in greatly improved learning for all students. The gifted students improved as well as those with learning disabilities. I believe in high expectations for all. High expectations that are attainable
