How is your class structured?
My class is structure to be a stress free, fun, and interactive learning environment to accommodate different learning styles and abilities.  

How will you teach?
I will teach using slide presentation, interactive games and discussion for question and answer sessions.

What's your teaching style?
I believe that every child learns differently.  I do my best to accommodate individual learning styles.  

How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? This class is highly interactive simulating real life as adults making financial decisions.  Students will interact by working together in the classroom community of life scenarios.  Students must work together and interact with each other to successfully learn how to navigate real life skills.  Students will learn they are free to choose what to with the money they earn but not free from the consequences of their choice, whether it is positive or negative result.  I teach with lecture format, modeling, visual aids and hands on activity. 

NOTE: Students will create a final project of their responsibilities and what they learned in our classroom economy via video, ppt, slide, etc.

How much Interaction will students have with other classmates: Students must communicate and interact with each to successfully make their classroom community economy function.  Students must work together and interact with each other to successfully learn how to navigate real life skills.  

How much interaction will students have with teacher: 
Students will respond to discussion questions posted in the classroom weekly.  Students must respond to at least one of the messages from other students or myself. Students will be ask to share a presentation of their real life experience through a visual presentation using video source, google slides or PPT. Students will need to respond to each students presentation.  
As always, I will be available for questions and feedback through the classroom and direct messages.

During Covid shutdowns and quarantines I discovered that my students and I loved the online platform. I taught in a one to one school. Every student had a laptop as well as a school hotspot if their family asked for one.  I chose not to do the minimum "office hours" as my school required. I felt this did not meet my students' needs. I ran an online classroom during regular school hours as well as recorded the class for those students who were unable to connect with us or needed to hear the lesson more than once. My experience as a principal resulted in greatly improved learning for all students. The gifted students improved as well as those with learning disabilities. I believe in high expectations for all. High expectations that are attainable
