Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
In this ongoing course, learners will be introduced to a different topic in psychology each week. Information will be presented on slides and learners will have many opportunities to delve deeper into content through discussions, polls, experiments, and a variety of other activities. This is an interactive class in which learners will be encouraged to ask questions and share connections to their own lives throughout. And as such, it is highly encouraged that cameras are on throughout class.

Learners should have some prior experience with psychology when signing up for this course, but do not need to have studied psychology extensively. My one-time "Introduction to Psychology" class is a great place to start if learners have never studied psychology before.

CLASS RECORDING POLICY: When you enroll in this class, you are paying for the live class, just like if this were an in-person class. I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners—many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child, and to maintain the experience of the class—this class has been designed for a live experience that includes video and interactive slides. Watching a recording while simultaneously attempting to independently navigate the slides and activities will not result in the same experience.
Learning Goals
Each week will cover a handful of standards from the American Psychological Association's standards for psychology curricula.
