Class experience

Students will learn:

— about using technology such as email and social media for communication
I am a human rights lawyer who has been working on issues of human rights and social justice for more than a decade with the United Nations and living on four different continents in my human rights work with the UN. Further I am a human rights educator who has taught human rights law for 10 years and has been teaching issues of human right to middle and high school students for over three years. I care deeply about social justice issues and feel passionately about sharing this experience with young people who can engage  in creating a more just world for us all. 
Homework Offered
Most weeks the club meetings will end with an action students can take to work toward change. Completing the action is optional, though encouraged.
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered

If your learner is particularly sensitive to these issues, parents should consider whether weekly exposure will be healthy for them.
