I'm a National Geographic Certified Educator and Outschool Teacher who is on an 7 year- 50 state road trip and I want you to come along (virtually) to a new mystery location with me each week (please note - these are not taught live on location). Each week is either a historical, geographical or cultural location. This class is ideally for young learners who are interested in historical, scientific or cultural facts about locations. This is not a social class designed to look at photos. It...
Each week the learners will learn something new about the mystery location. In 2023- 2024 we are going to be in Michigan, Minnesota, New England, Florida, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, Washington, Nevada and Alaska. The specific location of each week's lesson will remain a mystery until class starts. The lessons will be historical, geographical or cultural in nature. For example, if I were in Richmond, Virginia - learners could expect to learn about the Capital of Virginia and it's role in the Civil War as the Capital of the Confederacy.
I'm the Traveling Teach - who better to teach a virtual field trip lesson each week than me? I've been on the road for 6 years of our 8 year, 50 state adventure. We move every 5-7 days and spend, on average, 5 weeks per state (larger states receive longer stays while smaller states receive shorter stays). We drive in our 2004 Toyota Corolla and mostly stay in hotels and Airbnb's where I teach all my classes from. We travel with our little dog, Truffles, who features in my pet photography classes. While I primarily teach on Outschool to learners 11+ I do offer classes for younger learners and have extensive experience (10 years+) working with younger children and making educational content appropriate for them. Before heading out on the road, I was a Professional Youth Worker and then a Middle School Science Teacher so I know the value of project based learning and learning "on location" through field trips and excursions. Just because your learner can't physically go to a place, doesn't mean they should miss out on the change to learn about it. I look forward to having your learner join me on this adventure. For one time and multi-week classes I provide a 10% discount (please contact me for discount) for: Returning students from my previous classes Outschool teacher's children Siblings who both register for the same class
