I've been an advocate for voting rights my entire life and have studied the history of voting rights and applicable Constitutional Amendments for decades. I have spent my life working with children and adults of diverse ages, experiential, educational, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. I have organized and motivated members of my community for decades; children, youth, and adults, from an array of backgrounds, cultivating self-reliance, and responsibility to help them achieve their full potential. I have a Master’s in counseling and am in the dissertation phase of a Doctorate in Education. Please see my full biography under my information.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
55 minutes per week in class, and no time outside of class.
This class will be presented in a fact-based narrative. I am very careful to not engage in opinion. I give no personal opinions of my own. When a student offers their own opinion, I carefully deflect and refer back to the historical facts.
