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 specific next steps on how to improve or adapt.

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.
