Class experience

We will go over the normal class structure. Typically, we do a skills-building exercise, a journal project and then play a game.  
Journals have been a part of my life since I was a child.  I successfully completed Law School with four children in tote, mainly because of my journal lists.  They kept me sane and organized.  
For twenty years I have had the opportunity to work with students from Pre-K through Graduate School in both a traditional learning atmosphere and those classes that deviate from neurotypical teaching.  I am a retired certified teacher, attorney and mother of seven. Every class I create is first implemented in my own household.  My teaching philosophy is that all students are individuals and unique learners that must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and where mistakes are considered education victories.
     While incorporating the eight learning styles into each class, I believe that there are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) The teacher's role is to act as a guide. (2) Students must have access to hands-on activities. (3) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning. (4) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (5) Technology must be incorporated into the school day.
Homework Offered
Student can finish up their journal.
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Bullet Journal (Can be any journal, with or without lines, but must be sturdy enough to glue pages and designs).
Journaling Gel Pens or Markers or colored pencils
You can do the "About Me " project on canvas or cardboard instead of in your journals, it is your call.
Optional:  Stickers, Stencils, Paints, etc.
Handouts are provided by the Instructor a week before class begins, they may need to be printed out or there for ideas.  I will let you know which ones will need to be printed out.  Your students will be able to choose during the week how they wish to proceed with their journal.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Note:  For our first class, if you have time, have the student type words or small phrases that describe them.  Tell them they do not have to be humble, as this is just for them.  Go Big!  Before class, cut the words and phrases out so they can be glued into our journals after we design the initial page. 

There are no handouts for the introductory section, just a lot of ideas and access to our class page on Pinterest.

A student's journal can be deeply personal.  You may want to discuss privacy issues ahead of class.  My hope is that student's will share and be proud of what they create.  While doing our self-portraits, if you find that your student can not think of good things to say about themselves, gently drop in suggestions.  Please let me know of any accommodations I can do ahead of time for your student.  If you suspect your student is in any type of crisis, please speak with their physician or seek help from a counselor.
