Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 12
We will attend to any difficulties the learner might have with social studies. Topics can include: * Basic economics * US government * Canadian government * European government * Current events covered by the news * Political movements and ideologies * US history * Canadian history * European history * International Relations * United Nations The instructor will provide mini-lectures supported by the zoom whiteboard. For example, a student struggling with the basics of how the US government functions will be introduced to the most important concepts for this topic - checks and balances and separation of powers, explaining the difference between the three branches of government. The instructor often uses Socratic style questions to probe what the learner knows, and to encourage the learner to actively participate in the learning process.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree from University of Alberta
I teach social studies and role-playing games. I have 35 years of experience as a Game-master of table-top roleplaying games and Live-Action Roleplay organizer and facilitator for people of ages 7+. I used that experience in my teaching, pioneering the use of games and simulations to help my students understand government, economics and social and cultural processes.
My key principle for teaching is that students learn by doing and experiencing the subject matter. Students in my classes can thus expect a lot of playing games, regardless of content, because it is fun but also because we learn better together that way.
When I'm not teaching I...play more games because...let's face it, I'm a big geek.Reviews
