I currently teach a class regarding the UN and sovereign states (The Rule of Law) and a class regarding laws around the world where we follow our journey on a map (Bespoke and Unique Laws from Around the Globe) I am a lawyer in Australia, and I have homeschooled my own children for the past 9 years and will continue to do so for at least another 16 years (my youngest child is 2y as of 2023). I have degrees, post-graduate, and professional qualifications in the following: - Law - Bachelor of Laws, Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, Admission as a Lawyer; - TESOL - I have completed 8 out of 8 units towards the 150-hour qualification. When I receive my official professional certificate from Arizona State University I will update this here; - Bachelor of Arts in Security, Terrorism and Counterterrorism from Murdoch University which covered the following topics: Ethnic Conflict and Multiculturalism Ethnic Questions in East and South-East Asia Chinese Political Economy and Business Islam: Past and Present Power and Legitimacy in Modern Political Thought Practical Ethics Politics in Contemporary China Terrorism in a Globalised World War and Peace in World History Body and Mind Crime, Business and Politics in Asia News and Politics Australian Foreign Policy Authoritarianism and Democracy Terrorism: Its Causes and Consequences International Security Studies Knowledge and Information Security Spies, Saboteurs and Secret Agents Structure Thought and Reality Introduction to University Learning Globalisation: The Asia Pacific Perspectives on Security and Terrorism Introduction to Global Politics - I.T. Security; - Applied Linguistics; - Investigative Services; I have also completed the following short courses which are relevant to the classes I teach here: - How Forensic Science should speak to the Court; - Introduction to Key Constitutional Concepts and Supreme Court Cases (USA); - An Introduction to American Law (USA); - English Common Law: Structure and Principles (UK); - Economic Growth and Distributive Justice; - Water Supply and Sanitation Policy in Developing Countries; - Reason and Persuasion: Thinking Through Three Dialogues By Plato; - Technology and Ethics; - ADHD: Everyday Strategies for Elementary Students; - The Clinical Psychology of Children and Young People; - Everyday Parenting: The ABCs of Child Rearing; - A Brief History of Humankind. I will be running this class with my own children for their homeschool, and they would love it to be an Outschool class so that they can learn with their friends whilst I am teaching them!
Handouts will be provided in the classroom for extra enrichment as applicable but will not be required to be printed out unless you want to.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
