Class Experience

In this one time class we will spend 45 minutes of focused tidying. Maybe your room needs cleaning, or tidying (those are different things) or you just want to organize your desk. 
Class format will be:
Check-in
What you hope to accomplish?
Do you have the supplies you need?
Do you need any advice?

If Learners want I will have a "Clean Your Room Checklist" but this class is really about setting aside time to actually get things done. 
The idea for this class came up when I was discussing with teens in my Art Journaling For Teens class about how I need a buddy to be motivated. One of the Learners said they'd been wanting to organize their room for a month and hadn't seemed to ever get it done. There was a lot of agreeing and then one of the learners said I should offer this as a class....and here it is.

This class is for young people who want to clean, tidy, and organize their space but just need some accountability. I will offer some structure and guidance, and can suggest an order to get learners started. 
This idea comes from a strategy called Body Doubling. Body Doubling is simply a person keeping someone company while they complete a task. The Body Double may or may not offer assistance or advice, but mainly their job is to keep company the person doing the task.

Learning Goals

Obviously the goal is to get started on a cleaning, tidying or organizing project, but a side bonus will come from the social aspect of the group supporting each other, and learning what motivates you. How do you get to things you don't really want to do? How to get started, how to prioritize tasks, doing things in a logical order, being prepared-lots of executive functions will be discussed.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This is a social class as much as a clean your room class, and with teens there may be sensitive and personal topics discussed. If you have any concerns about the maturity of the content, please let me know so we can discuss it to make a safe space for everyone.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been facilitating art journaling classes for teens and tweens for almost a year on Outschool, and during that time I have developed a  way to hold a safe space for my learners. That is my priority, giving young people a place to feel safe and be heard. A clean your room class may seem like a strange place to mention this expertise, but teens (and tweens) need to talk, and it is my honour to hold space and to hear them.
