Huzzah Adventurers! Join me on the quest to discover how to play the ultimate game...Dungeons & Dragons. This class is intended for beginning players of D&D. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D&D is a role playing game that is a “joint storytelling experience” where the success or failure of the players is determined by their cooperative play and a roll of the dice. This class is designed to introduce new players to the mechanics of the D&D as a player character. It introduces the three pillars of play: Social Encounters, Exploration, and Combat. The game is designed to teach cooperation in order to overcome problems with simple Maths thrown in! In D&D you either win together or loose together! Class runs is by actually playing the game! After a brief introduction to what D&D is, a quick explanation of safety tools for play, and pre-generated character selection, the adventurers head out on their amazing journey. There is no better way to learn than playing! They will be thrust into a fantastical world filled with people to meet and problems to solve. With each encounter there will be brief instruction and then each player will take a turn to interact with that encounter as they see fit. They are in control. It is their destiny to control!
Learning Goals
• Understand the three Pilars of D&D (Social, Exploration, & Combat)
• Learn how to read a character sheet and how the mechanics of the game are played
• Learn joint storytelling and cooperative problem solving
• Online tools to play D&D

Parental Guidance
One of the three pillars of D&D is Combat. There will be battles and death, but all in high fantasy. We keep every description of situations to a low PG rating. We also discuss “safety tools” that any student can use if a description or situation becomes uncomfortable, we can use a “veil” to fade to the next scene. This ensures that we are keeping everything fun and exciting for everyone. D&D is inclusive to everyone from all walks of life.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a lifelong learner and I hope I can pass that on to your student, so their life can be enriched by the power of learning! My motto as a teacher is to always teach the class that I would want to take as a student. :)
I have been a teacher in San Diego County for 25+ years for Charter School and home school students. I teach Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Human Anatomy, and much, much more! I work with Middle School and High School age students. I own and run a learning center in my home town that has been serving students for over 15 years. I am an approved vendors and considered an subject area expert for multiple charter schools in CA. I use creative methods to engage the students mind to learn through interesting and exciting thematic learning (Edu-LARP). I believe that we can cover the standards, but in a way that makes it memorable and makes connections to their own life and the world around them.
I am also a professional Dungeon Master and have been teaching people to play D&D for many, many years. D&D is one of the best table top role playing games you could ever learn. Through the medium of the “joint storytelling”, we can explore new worlds, be ultra creative using teamwork in problem solving, and learn how to be more effective in social situations. As the an individual who was incredibly awkward and shy, D&D helped me learn to think creatively and manage my emotions. It can be one of the greatest adventures your student might ever take.
In addition, I have been a profession ballroom and Latin dancer for almost 30 years. This makes every academic, as well as extracurricular class, exciting and filled with fun. There should never be a dull moment in one of my classes.
