For each of our lessons, we curate a set of Core Skills, Subskills, Academic Skills, and our own Shiminly Skills that learners will develop. For this particular lesson the skillset is as follows:

Core Skill: Emotional Intelligence
Subskills: Empathy, Mindfulness, and Resilience
Academic Skills: Behavior and comportment, digital citizenship, and interpersonal communication
Shiminly Skills: Compassion, establishing positive relationships, and respect

Our facilitators are highly-passionate about what they do and are trained extensively on modern methodologies, such as student-centered, project-based, and inquiry-based learning. They all have a wealth of experience teaching around the world and on various digital platforms. They deliver their lessons in a way that is friendly, inspiring, and unique to their personality. We strive to ensure that learners come away from the lesson feeling empowered to put their best foot forward in every aspect of their lives.

Learners may be assigned a homework task related to the lesson. However, this task is for their own edification and is not mandatory.

To participate fully in our sessions, learners require; a pencil, an eraser, a notebook, sheets of paper, and coloring pencils/crayons.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Canvas

In this class, your learner will be prepared to enter the world of social media when they become of age. This class will act as a preliminary introduction to social media for learners to refer to when they turn 13. Note that, in this course, they will not be required to make any social media accounts or look at any real examples of social media posts. 

We are committed to protecting your child’s privacy and protecting them from harmful or inappropriate content. We use Canvas LMS to store and display content only using the screen share feature on Zoom. Learners are NOT required to make an account with Canvas or any other of our external resources. They will not be able to interact with the content in any way, nor are they permitted to view any of our content outside of class hours.
