Part 4 of 4 This is the final 4 week section of a 4 part course. If you have not taken part 1, 2 or 3, please look through our class listings page and start at the beginning to enjoy the full 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. Week 13: The Role of Men in Gender Equality This week will focus on the role of men in promoting gender equality. We'll discuss how men can be allies, the impact of toxic masculinity, and how gender equality benefits everyone, not just women. Week 14: Legal Protections and Advocacy We'll explore the legal protections in place to promote gender equality and prevent discrimination. We'll also discuss the role of advocacy in advancing these legal protections and how students can get involved in advocacy efforts. Week 15: Future Directions in Gender Equality This week will focus on the future of the gender equality movement. We'll discuss emerging issues, ongoing challenges, and potential solutions. Students will be encouraged to think critically about how they can contribute to this movement in the future. Week 16: Final Projects and Reflections In the final week, students will present their final projects, which will reflect their understanding of the course material and their ideas for promoting gender equality. We'll also reflect on what we've learned throughout the course and discuss how we can continue to advocate for gender equality in our own lives. This course is designed for a global community, and the content will be focused on the world at large. The course will touch on sensitive political questions, but 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. Thursday - Students need to have all tasks completed and uploaded in the classroom for teacher feedback and discussion. Students will discuss it among themselves. Friday - The teacher will provide feedback to the class and individual students. Saturday - Sunday - The teacher will be available to answer any questions that the students may have for the week or the next week. Please note: This course requires no prior experience. *For parents/families who feel their child would benefit from this course, but their budget does not allow for it, I do offer a number of discounts for families of lower income.

Parental Guidance
This class will explore sensitive topics related to gender inequality, including sexism, harassment, and discrimination. Some content may be upsetting or triggering for some learners. It's important to note that while these topics are sensitive, they are also crucial for understanding and addressing gender inequality.
Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive learning environment where students can ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions about these topics. We will be using age-appropriate language and ensuring that all viewpoints are respected. As the facilitator, I will be monitoring discussions to ensure that they are respectful and appropriate. If any student feels uncomfortable or overwhelmed, they will have the option to step away from the discussion or contact me privately.
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. We recommend parents review the course material and discuss any potential concerns with their children.
If you have any concerns or questions about the sensitivity of the topics covered in this class, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. I am committed to creating a positive and supportive learning experience for all students.
