Extraordinary People From History Part 4 Flex (8-11)

Students will learn about eight different people from history. They will learn about different time periods, different obstacles people overcame, and how people achieved their goals. 

I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.

I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism. 

Each week there will be two homework projects. One will be 3-5 questions - these opinion and thought based answers. There will also be 3-5 project options - these could be a movie to watch, short 1-2 paragraph research topic, or a small project to complete. 

No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
