Class Experience

Complete in 4 weeks or 4 days--you determine the pace!  This is the 4-class self-paced version of my class for young people that covers basic manners that are applicable on a daily basis.  More and more I hear that certain basic manners are lacking in middle and high school, but it's hard to get upset with the kids, as they don't know what they don't know!  If scheduling a time in the summer is more difficult for you, this is the version to take!

My overview version is meant as a refresher of sorts, whereas this is setup to be more in-depth and offer insight and specific examples for each week's class.  For each class, students will view the content video with a specific focus and can then submit any questions via classroom messaging--while asynchronous, I will be available throughout the week to answer any questions within a timely manner.  Since most of the videos exceed the size limit available for upload to Outschool, I am posting them on a private YouTube channel made only for my classes, and then each video will be embedded within the classroom--at no point will students leave the Outschool learning platform.

I am on Eastern Standard Time, which doesn't matter as much with this being a self-paced class, but am most available from 7:00am - 8:00pm (EST) for correspondence.  I will offer staggered sections so you can enroll during a period that works best for you!

Some of this will (hopefully) be review for students and some may be new or unique to a situation they have yet to experience (such as a job interview).  Material will be presented via a prerecorded video with a supplemental handout of what is covered; students will be encouraged to ask questions, offer observations, and any suggestions via messaging in the "classroom", which will be addressed in a return message or additional video!
