In this course students will learn about personal values, family values, community values, and how to take committed, positive actions based on these values. The class is structured into interactive weekly sessions, each focusing on a specific value-related topic as seen in the syllabus. Each week has a video lecture, slides, interactive activity such as a Kahoot.My teaching style is student-centered and interactive, focusing on active participation and practical application. I emphasize collaboration, critical thinking, and real-world connections to make learning meaningful and enjoyable. I strive to make all kids comfortable in their learning environment while also providing a sense of community. Learners will have ample opportunities to interact with me and each other through various activities. Discussion forums, kahoots, google classroom and video posts will be used to ensure learners feel as if they are in a live classroom.
