Part 1 of 2
This is the first 8 week section of a 2 part course.

In this class, students will learn about gender equality and its importance in society. Each week, they will explore a different topic related to the movement, including its history, the impact of sexism, and strategies for promoting equality. Homework assignments will include both individual and group projects, and students will receive personalized feedback on their work. By the end of the class, students will have developed critical thinking and research skills, as well as a deeper understanding of the issues affecting our society.

This course is designed for a global community, and the content will be focused on the world at large. While the course will touch on sensitive political questions, all topics will be approached in a sensitive and age-appropriate manner. We understand that many families have different levels of comfort around certain subjects and we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all learners.

The flexible schedule (Recorded Flex Class) allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started).

The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week, as part of a project. 

After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps on how to improve or adapt. 
Time frame for the Week:
Mondays - The teacher will post the information needed for the week. Students can submit questions.
Tuesdays - Wednesday - The teacher can answer any questions pertaining to the topic of the week.  The students will need to complete any homework assignments and answer any questions in the discussion.
