NEXT CLASS: Christmas Tree Mobile This is a fun class in which students can share his or her artwork and follow along with a project in class, if they choose to do so. The class meets once a month, and you purchase the class for each month you wish to participate. In each class, the teacher will . . . 1) Lead a seasonal craft or art project 2) Teach a brief lesson on a specific artist or medium 3) Allow for open conversation during the students' creative work process 4) Facilitate a "show and tell" time for each student to highlight his or her finished classroom project or another art creation of their choice 5) Discuss the relationship between the art project and seasonal themes The student will be informed in advance of any required art supplies or the need to print out a file in advance. My teaching style is very interactive, light-hearted and encourages critical thinking skills. We will review open source files of art and/or a brief bio of an artist, from a wide variety of historical timeframes, international locations and medium choices. No previous art experience is required, though the child should be able to use scissors and follow simple directions without hands-on parent involvement.

Hi friends! Welcome to Outschool!
I am a parent, a seasoned social worker, a homeschooling mom, a business owner (more than one!), and a lifelong learner. I hold two university degrees, one in Social Work and one in Religious studies. I have also taken several counseling courses at the graduate level.
However, what I have discovered is that the richness of life cannot be bound by four brick walls. Each time I engage in something I love, or have great friends working along side me, I learn so much more. Some of the things that tick my tock are . . . road tripping in our minivan (sunroof open, pizza pretzel Combos and an iced coffee in hand), photography, reading non-fiction, canoeing, hiking, painting watercolors, growing veggies, tinkering with entrepreneurial finances and pushing my brain boundaries by managing my family's film/tv rental gear business. Oh--and we spend a lot of time Lego-ing in our home.
So why do I teach online? It allows kids to remain in their comfort zone at home, but take on big learning opportunities. One of my biggest joys is celebrating with kids who have overcome intense challenges with persistent encouragement. My philosophy of teaching is that we can do WAY MORE than we think we are capable of doing, but we flourish best when we have great cheerleaders on our journey.
I have nearly five years of experience as an online teacher, but I also come with a rich resumé of managing psychosocial conferences, leading small groups, tutoring individual students, facilitating support groups, teaching ESL to PK4 through adults (over 400 students total with 5/5 reviews) and teaching in brick & mortar schools (elementary and college level). I love variety. I love knowing that each child is born with a unique personality and gifts. I find it a personal adventure and goal to help kids build confidence by letting them discover their gifts and reframe their challenges in a safe and encouraging environment.
I believe children rise to the occasion when they are motivated by bite-sized, methodical successes. And YOUR child is next. Let me help your family by offering a safe space where we can learn together.
See you in the classroom! :-)
