General Info:
This class is a fun course in Economics where we have amazing discussion, fun projects, and more.

Continue reading for all the info you need and find the topics in the syllabus. 

About the Teacher:
I am a certified teacher in various topics, which I teach on Outschool, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees. 

About this Class: 
This class is geared towards late Middle School to early High School. Each week we cover a new topic using a variety of learning tools and methods for all styles of learners. 

Following class each week, I will put a message in the Outschool classroom with a link to a Google folder where I provide my notes from class, resources, and plenty of activities for you to use on the topic. I also link videos in the message for further coverage of topics. 

Grading:
I do provide an overall grade for the class, but I require at least their weekly project to be completed. I give them additional activites weekly to work on the topics we cover and a textbook to follow along with. Remember, work is not required, but if you desire a grade, I have to see your student’s work. 

Helpful Information

1. Please let your student know that I love participation but it is not required. I do ask that they raise their hands to speak so everyone can feel heard and get to participate. 
3. Since this class is a course, if there are skipped weeks in the schedule you will be billed for them, but you will only pay for the total amount of weeks that the course is that you are enrolled for. 

Refund Policy: 
1.  If a makeup class is set by me due to a change on my end, you will not receive a refund. You can access recordings and all resources. 
2. Due to high demand of classes, I do not offer weekly refunds for missing class due to there being a class recording. You can access everything in the class even when you miss. 
3. If you need to withdraw or move to another session, that must be asked at least 1 week before the start of the session (1st meeting). Otherwise, a refund will not be given and the move of session will not be granted.

Learning Goals

Students will leave class with a full understanding of Economics and how the world works. They will also understand the use of money a bit more.
