Class experience

US Grade 7 - 10
I am certified in various subjects and have taught these topics in classes on Outschool and in Charter school for a long time. I am well versed in these topics and standards and love teaching them. Students are urged to join in the discussion. I have been teaching these topics for many years. I am certified and qualified to teach on marginalized groups and topics in relation to History due to my certification to do so. I teach them, with discretion but fact on the topic. Also, my direct heritage is Native American and German. I do have insight from my personal family on many of these topics. I am more than qualified to cover them. 
Homework Offered
They will have an assignment weekly I would like them to do, but everything else is optional. We will discuss these assignments in class and go into discussion.
Assessments Offered
I offer weekly assessments most weeks in the folder for your student to take on the topics we covered. Students who want to test their knowledge of the content can take these and submit to be added into their grade. Most of the time, answer pages are also linked in there as well, but in the case there is none, submit for grading.
Grades Offered
Grades will be provided via request but require students to submit weekly work to be graded and then averaged at the end for an overall grade. Please let me know the week you enter class if you wish to have a grade, and I will keep track of progress throughout the class.
Please be advised we will discuss the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement. I do this cautiously but some images and images from the video I have might be disturbing. If your student wants to look away during this time I will let them know. 
All content to teach comes from textbooks, valid history sites, as well as other credible resources. I have taught history for many years. 

Sources used include the McGraw Hill US History textbooks for Middle and High School levels, History.com, Britanica.com, and other history-based sites. Most content comes from things I have taught for many years as a certified teacher. I also use videos from certified teachers or History.com as well. 

I also have Native American heritage in my family, as well as German family members, so I am qualified to teach at least the basics of the indigenous people of our country and other historic events that took place. All content being taught is foundation level, but diving deeper into these topics can be done at home and with my resources.
