Description
Class Experience
I am passionate about interest-led-learning. As an extensive world traveler and a person who loves to learn about other cultures, this class fits well into that passion. My experience is in over 8 years as an Elementary School Special Education Teacher, 5th-grade teacher, and Teacher-Librarian of K-5. Plus homeschooling both of my sons from middle school until high school graduation. This class is perfect for all types of students, especially for those who love or want to travel or for those who just want to get a feel of how another kid their age goes about their day on the other side of the world. Learning about how others live and interact on a daily basis plus their customs and beliefs help individuals learn more about themselves and the values they hold near to their heart. The class structure allows for varying learning styles, attention-spans, interests, and special needs. I believe in effort. Effort in trying, the process, curiosity, wonder, and thinking! As a continual learner (a person always thinking, wondering and asking WHY) -- I strive to inspire all of my students that same passion--to be curious-minded to the world around them. To be playful. To be passionate. To be Adventurous. To be a mistake maker. To be a learner who has no boundaries!
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
- Kahoot!
- Nearpod
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
