Have you ever wanted to use your strongest Pokemon card and use it to battle with other friends? Well then this is the ongoing class for you! Each class, students will work together to beat a raid boss that has strong Pokemon! This is how we battle: Each student will come to class with one Pokemon card they would like to use in battle. Students are allowed to use any card EXCEPT V-UNION cards (VMAX, VStar, Mega Pokemon are all allowed!). Before the battle we will go around and students will be able to show their team the card they are using in battle. Each round one student will be able to spin the Wheel of Energies. After they spin they can decide to keep the energy for their own Pokemon or pass it to one of their teammates who it may help more. To win this raid battle, students will need to work together to let all of their Pokemon get as strong as possible. Once a Pokemon has the amount of energies needed they can begin attacking against the raid boss! The team will have to defeat 3 strong Pokemon to be victorious in this raid battle! This is a very fun class where students will be able to work together as a team and use their favorite Pokemon cards to win battles! *Please note this class is limited to 6 students to allow for all students to be more involved in the battles!* Our raid bosses will be as follows: Session 1 (Week of March 6) - Marnie Session 2 (Week of March 13) - Volkner Session 3 (Week of March 20) - Misty Session 4 (Week of March 27) - Iris

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in Health/PE
Throughout my almost 2 decades in education, I have worked with students from Preschool all the way up to college. After receiving my education degree from SUNY Brockport, I received my Masters' Degree in Educational Administration (School Building Leader and School District Leader) from Lehman College. I have spent over a decade working for NYC DOE and also spent two years working at Barnard College, the sister college of Columbia University.
My experiences with students in all of these age groups taught me one thing, over and over again -- one size fits none. You can't mass produce education, it only works well if it's individualized, and if lessons are taught in ways that excite, interest and engage each student. In 2012, I started a company focusing on unique and individual learning techniques. Our in-person classes taught a myriad of educational lessons through mediums that gripped my students -- we taught math concepts through movement games, language and writing skills through art, etc. During the coronavirus pandemic, I transitioned that same concept to my Outschool classes -- it's a platform that I love because it allows me to tap into kids' niche interests in an even more drilled down way than I could do in person. Now, whether my younger students are learning about a certain calculation technique via a Pokemon character, or my older ones are discussing their true passions as a way to figure out how to get into their dream colleges, I'm most satisfied with my work when I'm meeting kids right where they are. Seeing a child learn something new while he or she is showcasing expertise in a subject area of passion is a win for me and for the student. I learn from my students every day, and I'm thrilled when they feel like they've grown and gained in each class, too.
