➡️ Class features Model Writing lessons: Modeling writing builds learners' confidence and lowers their barriers when engaging in the writing process. Advanced, struggling, and reluctant writers supported. 

➡️  Why choose Flex? Because it is fantastic! 
This Flexible Schedule class meets *asynchronous*, there will be *no* live meetings. Recorded lessons, game links, printouts, and reading assignments are posted to the virtual classroom on Outschool.com. Students will enjoy working at their own pace and on their schedule! 

➡️  This class is gamified and interactive!
Each English lesson includes an interactive element as well as traditional learning methods. Students watch teacher-created videos as they follow an interactive class syllabus. 

This is your class, so work at your pace! I respond promptly to all posts, provide time for working on lessons in our weekly schedule, and give feedback on all submitted assignments. 

➡️  Reasons a self-paced class is better! 
1.) Teacher-recorded videos mean you can pause instruction! Watch it again and again. 
2.) No schedule conflicts or noise interruptions, and did I say you can go at your pace?!?!?!
3.) Pause, skip, back up, slow down, speed up, replay! 
4.) Students can be themselves and learn how they need to! I support all learner types, and accommodations are always my top priority! 

Certificate of Completion and grades are provided if requested.
