Learners will have a chance to informally chat about questions, ideas, theories, and/or stories relating to the nature of reality and the branch of philosophy known as metaphysics.
I am a former university lecturer that specialized in making introductory courses fun, engaging, and relevant to everyday life. I have over 16 years of experience teaching at the university 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, as I was conducting informal research into the philosophical abilities of children.
None
No required homework. Optional but highly recommended: Bring any questions or stories that made you question the nature of reality or stories you have permission to share from others (such as friends' or family members' experiences).
I do not plan to share any media, but this class will allow for the free exchange of ideas from the learners. Therefore, parents can decide if the open-discussion nature of the class is a good fit for their young learner(s). Additional Important Note: While all discussions will always be moderated in a way to keep examples and views relevant, appropriate, and in line with Outschool's policies, due to the nature of this particular class, some stories, questions, or theories shared by others could be considered "scary" to some which is why the class age is set for older teens. Please consider the nature of your learner and their sensitivities when it comes to this before enrollment. Thanks! :)
