I have been a teacher on Outschool since 2020 and I teach on 2 additional online platforms. I have a biology background, however, I studied US and World History for 3 years in college, as well as 2 years of Chinese. I have also trained in a non-credited format, for many years, with an author and speaker who specializes in teaching children character qualities. 

I have always enjoyed teaching. My first teaching position was in Moscow, Russia, teaching English as a second language. Since then, I’ve taught in various settings which include a cooperative, a preschool, and as a tutor in the areas of math, science, and English. I also am a homeschool mom!

I have taught this class to different groups at a cooperative, for both lower and upper elementary students. I enjoy teaching a subject or principle and including different areas of study along with the original idea. 

Homework Offered
Reading of the weekly book and book based project. I will also send links and printables to aid in the experience. 
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I generally do not "grade" but if parents do want something more formal, I am willing to do so with prior notice.
Grades Offered

We refer to the Constitution (including Bill of Rights) and the Declaration quite a bit during this class.
