Welcome to the magical world of Harry Potter! In this ongoing class, we will meet weekly to discuss these fantastic books and characters. Please note that each class can be taken separately and does not build on any other classes, so you can drop in and out as needed! The "Harry Potter” novels are incredibly popular, and have spawned generations of fans. In each class, we will focus on several chapters from a particular book in the series through a combination of teacher-led and student-led discussion. Discussion is only focused on those chapters and does not build on previous chapters, therefore students can enroll at any point and not be behind. I will begin each class with a brief check in of each student's week, and then we will discuss the characters and plot from the week's selection. I highly encourage interaction and participation in my classes, while also being mindful of those who are not comfortable participating. Although no prior knowledge is needed, students will most likely enjoy this class more if they have read the selected chapters each week. Students are welcome to dress up and/or bring their favorite magical accessories! I love to bring my wand and sorting hat to each class, as well as my illustrated versions of the Harry Potter books. Here is a list of the dates and books that will be covered: Week of 7/11: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4); Chapters 36-37 NO CLASS THE WEEK OF 7/18!

Hello all learners and parents! My name is Mandy and I teach classes designed to help children reduce stress and anxiety. I have 15 years of experience using techniques that are research-based and proven to aid in mind/body relaxation. My goal is to help children learn to cope with and manage anxiety through techniques they can use throughout their lives.
My academic background is in Clinical Psychology. I have both a B.S. and M.S. in Clinical Psychology and have 20 years of experience working with youth. I have worked in a therapeutic setting since 2004, teaching social skills groups, relaxation exercises, art therapy, and play therapy sessions. As a psychometrist, I have extensive experience administering comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and cognitive rehabilitation assessments, including vision therapy and neurofeedback, with children and adolescents. I have worked with a wide range of diagnoses (ADHD, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, Autism, Dyslexia, behavior disorders, etc.), ages (age 2 to adult), and intellectual levels (severely delayed to gifted).
During my time on Outschool, I have taught over 10,000 students, and have been blessed to meet so many learners from different cultures and walks of life. I have also frequently worked with neurodiverse learners both on Outschool and in private practice. My goal as a teacher is to meet students where they are at, as well as celebrate their differences! I will always teach one student classes, so that parents do not have to worry about cancellations.
I am an avid reader and a lifelong Harry Potter fan, raising 3 children who are also fans! Reviews
