Do you have an amazing structure you would like to share with others? Do you have the ability to lead others in a step by step process to accomplish the same results as your already completed building, or maybe you could really use the practice! This exercise will help you learn how to slow down and explain things with small step by step instructions as well as listening and following instructions, both very valuable skills. I believe Leadership Skills and Concepts can be learned through fun, hands on, experiential learning opportunities. The more experience you have acting as a genuine leader, the easier it will be for you. It is never easy to take the lead, as you will need to make decisions and face challenges, but it can become natural and rewarding. We will begin the class with a mini lesson on how to guide the class and the importance of checking with each person often to ensure they are understanding and caught up. Each student will be given a number at the beginning of class, IF your number is chosen then you will be the teacher for the class! You will be leading us through a step by step process to complete a build of your choice in a Minecraft creative world. You will have up to 25 minutes to help us complete your build. At the end of the 25 minutes it will be time to show our progress and have a discussIon time. If your number was NOT chosen in this class, then you will have the task of listening and asking questions respectably to complete the build of the day. Each class will be different as it is student lead, and each class might not be super successful in that all the buildings look the same... and that is ok. This class is intended to be a fun and social class, while also learning the skills needed to communicate clearly and efficiently. As an added benefit you may learn a new tip from the class! Social club with a purpose! Strong communication skills are what you are going to need to complete this fun and challenging mission, do you think you are up for the challenge?
Learning Goals
In this class student can expect their communicating and leading skills to be challenged in a fun environment. They will be encouraged to work together with other participants, if there are any, to complete a task presented by the chosen 'leader' of the class. This is a challenging skill, but so important as they prepare for their future. In addition to this they will also be building patience and team working skills!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lisa and I am so excited to be teaching for Outschool! As a mother to 5 children, ages 11 to 23, have modeled and taught life skills such as sewing, cooking, arts/ crafts, animal husbandry, and balancing a budget to name a few. For the past 10 years, I have taught in my local homeschooling co-ops, Sunday school classes, and various other community activities. I believe when you actively engage children through hands-on learning, learning becomes effortless!
I am also a homeschooling mom. I have educated my children from kindergarten up to grade 8. I have taught kindergarten which I have specialized in teaching phonics and letter recognition. As well as, science, word building, social studies, bible, and English literature.
Currently, I have been teaching ESL online for the last 3 years, to children in China ages 4 to 13 years. This experience has really helped me to be a more precise teacher. It is a great joy to see smiling faces as they learn and discover. Reviews
