As a teen, I had the company of sisters and other kids my age living on our block. Looking back, I realize how important it was to have those relationships and to have someone to talk to. Talking can be serious, talking can be cathartic, and talking can be fun. Interacting with others can also be a great learning experience. It allows us to use our listening skills and to actually hear what the other person is saying. In this one-time 45 minute class, teens have the opportunity to converse with, learn from and enjoy the company of other teens. Teens may present a topic of their choosing for discussion. We may also play a fast round of topics such as sports, music, celebrities, or school. What do I want to be when I grow up? There's a question on the minds of many teens. The class will be structured so all teens can participate. Teens may do a round the horn style discussion as well as offering games and activities to further engage and enhance interaction.
Learning Goals
Teens will be in a discussion group based on the interests of teens.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone. I am Teacher Mary G. and I am so happy to be teaching with Outschool. I am the mother of four and grandmother of three. As a middle school teacher, I have taught all subjects, but language arts is my specialty.
Classes will include grammar lessons (punctuation, capitalization, parts of speech) and sentence and paragraph writing. Novel reading and discussion would also be an offering to students. As an elementary/middle school teacher, I taught math and science. I would love to
instruct students in these subjects as well. In addition to academic lessons, I will be teaching value lessons (i.e. honesty, cooperation, kindness), and life skill lessons (i.e. stress and anger management, problem-solving, and confidence building).
My education includes a bachelor of science in education, an elementary endorsement, and a master of science in education, (school counseling Prek-12th grades). For 14 years, I taught fifth and sixth grades. The last four years before retiring, I served as the fifth and sixth grades' school counselor.
Every student is unique. Every student can succeed. Every student can learn given the time and the necessary tools. Fostering a positive environment of encouragement and expression of thought, allows students to learn from their mistakes and grow in their achievements.
As a teacher, I cherished the time with my students and I often told them at the end of the school year, "I'm going to miss you." And I did. But I think they missed me too because so many of my "kids" came back to visit and tell me how "hard" school was and they wanted to return to my class. That feeling was fleeting. Each student adjusted to their new grade, new classmates, new teacher(s). They grew up, but they never stopped coming back (facebook, email, texts, etc.). And I still miss them.
