Students will be able to learn the role of the amygdala in anger, anxiety and emotional regulation.

Each week, students will receive a reading, comprehension and extension practice activity.
Teacher will supply a weekly Powerpoint/notes for students.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Learner progress is evaluated through participation and completion of assignments.
55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
This class is suitable for all ages listed
