Teacher expertise and credentials
I am brand new to Outschool. I have a Master of Science in Childhood Education, Grades 1-6 and Teaching with Disabilities, Grades 1-6.
I have facilitated Social Skills programs in an inclusionary elementary aged program (kindergarten through grade 5) for over 12 years. I also have led this program virtually.
I spent fifteen years as an Art Director in a recreation program coordinating and directing Arts & Crafts instruction to 1st-6th grade campers. This has always been my true passion!
I have previous experience in the business world. Most recently I have led therapeutic art programs virtually as an Art Specialist to developmentally disabled adults.
Here on Outschool, I will offer Social Skills programs/groups for kindergartners through fifth graders. My programs will be open to older children as well based on their needs and abilities. The programs will be live, but I am willing to offer Self-Paced programs or one-on-one sessions if you are interested. Please reach out and let me know your child's needs.
If a child has a need for assistance dealing with bullying, making friends, self-esteem, dealing with a certain emotion/feeling, etc., and would like a one-time class or a few sessions on a particular subject I am available.
During each Social Skills session, we will work on arts and crafts projects, read poetry and books, have group discussions, and play games; all while developing and increasing social skills. A good time, as well as a great learning experience is guaranteed! I will begin my Outschool classes offering a 12 week program, but will expand it based on interest.
With my experience in Arts & Crafts and Therapeutic Art I will also be offering classes in Basic Process Art. The classes are open to anyone, age does not matter! I have found children/adults of any age enjoy the same crafts and find great joy in completing a project. My classes will be one-time sessions, Self-Paced, one-on-one if desired, and live ongoing. If your child has an interest in a specific holiday, season, or type of craft I would love to compose a unique class for them. Please reach out with any requests.
I am a creative individual who looks to make each situation unique. Your child will feel at home in my classes. I will provide your child with ample opportunities for growth.
My schedule is open and I am willing to meet your child's needs. I am a night owl and do not mind teaching classes to children elsewhere in the world at a time that fits your schedule.
I love working on Arts & Crafts projects for different holidays and seasons. Painting is my favorite! I enjoy reading.
I am excited for my journey on Outschool! I look forward to working with your child. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.Reviews
