Description

Class Experience

This class is taught in English.
Emotions are vague.  My goal is to bring awareness to their emotions and make them think of emotions differently.  This simple awareness will help them discover that emotions are different for everyone.  I hope this cultivates more empathy for each other and helps in our collaborative world. 
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
45 minutes per week in class, and no time outside of class.
