The Beginner's Philosophy Club for High Schoolers is a learner-led and discussion-based class for older teens. It is ongoing club for high schoolers with little to no background in philosophy to come together and join in relaxed but loosely guided philosophical conversations with their peers. I will start by introducing some topic choices and/or philosophical questions. Learners will be encouraged to explore what direction the conversation takes them in. I will help by providing prompts, guidance, moderation, and but also sharing relevant vocabulary, concepts, and/or theories. Pop-in whenever you are available and want to chat!
I am a former university instructor that specialized in making introductory courses fun, engaging, and relevant to everyday life. I have over 16 years of experience teaching at the college level, where I held the position of Master Lecturer before I left to focus on homeschooling my son full-time. In addition, I have over 3 formal years teaching philosophy courses to kids, ages 6-16. I volunteered at both a local public high school as well as a private school alongside performing my teaching duties at the university.
This class will allow for open dialogue and the free exchange of ideas from the learners, but in a moderated way. I will keep students on task and ensure that discussions are kept academically appropriate, relevant, and in line with Outschool's policies.
