In this 5 week course students will be provided with tools they need to develop time management and study skills. They will have opportunity to experience and view a variety of different forms or styles and choose a few strategies that best fit their style of learning. In this course we study topics that include: *Goal Setting & Time Management Techniques *Effective Study Habits & Organizational Skills *Managing Distractions & Stress Management *Reading and Comprehension Strategies & Group Work *Digital Literacy & Reflection and Adaptation We cover a lot of material in our live meetings. Students will watch presentations and participate in group learning opportunities that pushes them to become critical thinkers yet will prepare them to be independent learners. In the classroom, printables are provided for students to read and work with as they begin to develop and strengthen their skills and abilities. As a teacher, I interact with students and ask a ton of questions. This provides students with a model of the questions they should continue to ask themselves in order to evaluate their strengths and learn what areas they need to work harder at. This also prepares them to think critically and evaluate where they want to go and what they expect to get from this course that will carry them into each subsequent course. This course gives student the tools to develop the road map that they will need to manage their time wisely and skills to study effectively.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of North Carolina Pembroke
I have a degree in Education and experience teaching elementary and middle school students. My classes are centered around English Language Arts and I have experience teaching ESL students. I am Tosel and TEFL certified.
Hello, I am Ms Velvet.
ABOUT ME: As a teacher I believe that we should provide students with the skills and opportunity to learn and grow. I think that students are more apt to care what you know, when they know that you care and I hope that I live that philosophy out in my classroom. I am excited about teaching and passionate to guide students learning.
Personally, I absolutely love reading. There is a book by Dr Suess that really does so much more than entertain. It is called " Oh, the Places You Will Go." This book truly sets people of all ages up for success! While there are many quotes I could pull from this fabulous writing, my favorite is “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” - This quote emphasizes the idea of self-direction and the ability to choose your own path. I hope my guidance leads others to develop the confidence to choose the right path for them.
WHAT MAKES ME QUALIFIED: I am an experienced teacher in the classroom setting. I have experience online as well. I started teaching virtually with my local school district about 4 years ago, in the USA. Now, I'm teaching virtually on outschool, to students all over the world.
I currently teach middle school classes as well as upper elementary classes. My classes are centered on English Language Arts and ESL. I teach ELA Homeschool, Writing, Grammar, Spelling, Reading, Speaking, Vocabulary, Poetry, Literature, English as a Second Language, and more.
I have multiple degrees in Education. I am completing my certification as a registered IEW Writing Instructor. I am also certified in TOSEL and TEFL as an ESL Instructor. As you can probably see, Im a firm believer in continued education practices.
