Students should expect to have a fun time with others while providing other learners with tips and tricks they have mastered during gameplay. I will teach back-and-forth communication skills, how to stay positive when things don't go our way, and sportsmanship. This class is learner-directed so the topics might change based on the skill level that the learners have or game-based topics they want to discuss. I've played multiple Kirby games, starting with Kirby's Dream Land 3 and most recently Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Week 1: Students will be given an ice-breaker question before class and then join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communication and social skills. Week 2: Students will discuss their favorite game mode and why they chose that. We will join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communication and social skills Week 3: Students will discuss their favorite Kirby game and why they chose that. We will join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communication and social skills. Week 4: Students will discuss their favorite Kirby color and the reasons why. We will join the private party for gameplay where they will practice their communication and social skills. The majority of this class will be spent playing Kirby's Dream Buffet and using our communication skills (I will provide prompting and help guide students with participation when needed). Both Kirby's Dream Buffet and an active Nintendo Online Subscription are required for this class. I will need to have the learners added in order for them to join the private lobby as well, with the

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there, I'm Teacher Michael and I'm happy to see you on my profile page! I love teaching students of all ages about social skills that involve gaming and anime.
Since 2012, I have volunteered and am currently participating with the Special Olympics working with ages 8 and older. In 2016, I completed a social skills training program run by the University of Central Florida. Through my local school, I tutored students ages 6-12 in math, reading, science, social studies, and writing skills in 2018. I currently belong to several social clubs in my area where I work with youth ages 14-18.
My passion is creating an environment where students can openly discuss their favorite topics without the barriers of a traditional school setting. When children play together they build confidence, stay active through movement, practice motor skills and develop learning skills. With my years of experience working with youth, I will be able to mentor and teach students while playing games and practicing life skills.
I am Autistic and have ADHD. I feel I can relate to students with and without disabilities because most learners are looking for a way to express themselves in a safe environment without fear of negativity. Outschool is the perfect platform for those that need a little help or that want a class that lets you be you! I want to show my learners that education can be fun and engaging without being overwhelming.
