Hello Learners and Families! Please read the full class description to determine if this class would be a good fit for your child's learning needs and always feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns about your child's participation in any of my classes. I look forward to seeing your child in the classroom soon! ***TEACHER INTRODUCTION*** My name is Ms. Jenn, and I am a master's level social worker and educator with over 15 years working with children and adolescents in a variety of settings (e.g. public education, clinical settings, community classes, virtual education). I offer a variety of Outschool classes to support children and adolescents in developing confidence in their conversation skills. I believe that all children should have the opportunity to fully participate in a safe and supportive classroom atmosphere. I have designed my classes with the intention of being accessible to diverse learners, and all of my classes are welcoming to neurodiverse/gifted & 2e/disabled/special needs/unique learners. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss your child's learning needs and/or anything I can do to make certain they feel supported in my classroom. ***CLASS DESCRIPTION*** This class allows learners to develop confidence in their social and conversation skills by engaging in discussions with their peers about a variety of kid friendly topics in a safe, supportive environment. This class is open to all students and is a welcoming classroom for neurodiverse/disabled/gifted & 2e/special needs/unique learners. Each class will follow a similar structured format and focus on a different discussion topic (see below for class format and weekly topics). The teacher will provide guidance and support to facilitate conversation between the learners. Learners may also share ideas for topics that they would like to see offered for a future class meeting. Each class will consist of the following: 1. Class Expectations 2. Introductions/Check In 3. Group Discussion on Weekly Topic 4.
