Hanging out with friends is very important for teens. It is a time of transition from childhood to adulthood. This can be a scary place as teens are faced with intellectual, physical, and social changes. They are facing new issues and decisions. Coloring unites us. It gives our brains a chance to take a break and relax. It helps create a state of quiet where we can open our hearts and listen. Class structure: Each week the teacher will provide a coloring page for learners to print out (or bring their own doodle pad). We will begin with introductions, a philosophical question or two-for example "what is the color of happiness?" We will color and chat about the Woman of the Week and conversation will grow organically from there. Together we will create a space where we are free to speak our thoughts in a judgement free zone. We will respect each other and learn how to agree or disagree with kindness for each other. We may chat about big topics, such as our places in the world to the smaller every day decisions, such as why I don't like to wear stripes. Each student will have the opportunity to share their coloring page at the end of class. Upcoming Women: September 29th: Mary Cassatt October 6th: Mary Shelly October 13th: Maria Von Trapp October 20th: Harriet Tubman October 27th: Gertrude Bell November 3rd: Alice Clement

Greetings and welcome to our classroom adventure, where curiosity takes the reins! I'm Kathy, your guide on this exciting journey of exploration.
In our classroom, we embrace The Socratic Method, believing that questions fuel our learning journey. Together, we'll form a circle of inquiry – a space where we're free to delve into our thoughts, respect diverse perspectives, and discover more about ourselves along the way. My classes focus around the philosophical questions that weave through our daily lives, books, and movies.
A bit about me: I proudly hold a BFA from The School of Visual Arts. As an ACE Teacher on Outschool, I've embraced Professional Development Training, honing Outschool's three core principles: Agency, Community, & Expertise.
I bring to our educational journey a variety of experiences, having donned various hats – from a 15-year stint as an Advertising Executive in corporate America to roles as a Homeschool Teacher and ESL Teacher. I'm an avid book enthusiast, everything from classics to contemporary themes, even enjoying a bit of mind candy. My passion extends to old movies, where I enjoy introducing timeless classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood to students. Having guided my own children through high school and on to college, I collaborate with local homeschoolers, teaching philosophy, literature, movie studies, and facilitating open discussions on diverse topics like Philosophy, Banned Books, Novel Studies, Hollywood movies, and Women's Studies.
Beyond the classroom, you will find me singing loudly and unapologetically in the car and enjoying moments with family. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom - let the adventure begin!
