Class Experience

I am an educator who prides myself on providing a safe, supportive space for students to engage in a hands on learning environment. I use a facilitation learning approach to my classroom where students take more control of their learning process. I serve as a guide to help students arrive at their own conclusions on discussion topics. Every student learns at their own pace with constant encouraging and constructive feedback that allows them to work areas in which they can improve. 

The following topics will be covered in this course:
1. Racism
2. Overview of Black Lives Matter 
3. Being an Ally

This class will interact with the teacher and each other through activities, presentations and class discussions. No prior experience or knowledge is needed for learners.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have planned and taught community forums and workshops that discussed Racism, discrimination and other social issue topics. I have taught Middle School students the importance of being agents of change by analyzing a social issue of their choice and creating a community event that addressed the issue. Ultimately, my goal is for my workshop to allow students to know that they have power and they can choose to use their power to empower others.
