Class Experience

-Students will be taught how to conquer their fears of public speaking.
-Learn key components to being successful at public speaking, such as taking a clearing breath while the person sees if everyone is ready to listen, introducing him or herself, speaking clearly and audibly and taking care to look each audience member in the eye he or she speaks, and finally let the audience know they are finished by asking if anyone has any questions. 
-Students will also be given the opportunity to practice being good listeners as each student takes a turn to speak. 
-We will have a discussion time at the beginning of the class to go over each component, then each student will have 3-5 minutes to speak before I ask them to wrap up and ask for questions. 
-After everyone is done with their speaking, we will have a discussion about how everything went and see if anyone has anything  they would like to improve on for next class.
-Students are free to choose their own topics for their speeches as long as they are appropriate.

Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am so excited to teach your children! I teach classes where students can be creative and share their thoughts and ideas. I love to have fun in my classes and make learning enjoyable and stress-free! 
I have worked with children, newborn to junior high, for over 17 years now in many different settings. I worked in a daycare for four years, got my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, substituted in multiple schools, and have volunteered as a Sunday school teacher and in other leadership roles from the nursery to Junior high in my church for about 14 years now. I have also run my own homeschool co-op for the past three years.  
My values behind my teaching are that students are natural learning and they learn best through play and are most motivated when they are learning about something that interests them. My classes will not be boring or strict! We are here to enjoy learning new things! 
I have four kids, ages 9 to 1, and I have been a stay at home mom from the beginning and I homeschool my oldest two.
