This class is taught in English.

Learning outcomes for my students will be to encourage self esteem and self awareness. I will also encourage students to see good in others by having them to share something they see good in their class mates.

Physical attributes are not the only thing I want to emphasize but to teach students to build their character, internal qualities and personality traits. I will share screen to show a video appropriate to our discussion.

Self awareness is the ability to focus on yourself and how your actions, thoughts, or emotions do or don't align with what you feel inside. Being self aware can build confidence or self esteem when you have an objective opinion of who you are and how you perceive others see you.

I am an Enrichment Program Director with my own 501c3 and LLC and a SEL Art Instructor with local after school and summer camp agencies. I regularly work with children using various art mediums and art related curriculum to teach (SEL) Social Emotional Learning competencies and 21st Century Life Skills. Art can also be very therapeutic and relaxing and helps to ease tensions or frustrations that a child may not otherwise be able to articulate. I have over 30 years experience working with youth and teens and have studied both Art Theory/History, Bachelors level Interior Design, I have my Bachelors in Organizational Leadership and I'm a Master's candidate for my MA in SEL (10/2023). As an educator, I love to see children excited over their own exploration and self discovery. I've seen children say they couldn't do this or couldn't do that, and with some patient coaching achieve incredible things!

Assessments Offered
My assessments will be informal. I will monitor their ability to focus and pay attention in class, offer constructive critiques to peers and following my instructions. 
 I want to help them to find their confidence and take pride in what the create in my class. Art expression allows us to create what's pleasing to ourselves. How they see themselves internally will always be reflective on the outside and that's what makes self worth so important.
