1 live meeting
55 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
Each class will start out with introductions and class expectations. During introductions we will share our preferred name, our pronouns and answer a Whovian-related ice breaker question. Then we will delve into discussion, based on the topic of the week, for the remainder of class. I strive to make this class a place where everyone is heard, everyone is respected and everyone has input in our discussions. I am an avid Doctor Who fan myself and will participate in the ice breaker for each class, and interject as needed during the discussion. I will try to keep my participation limited however, to allow for the most student interaction. I prefer to facilitate student discussions rather than dominate the time talking myself. Please see below for the tentative discussion topic schedule: Who is your Doctor? Companion Character Arcs Enemies of The Doctor (Cybermen, Daleks, The Master, and more) Favorite Episodes and their Themes Collections, Cosplay, Fan-fiction, Fan-art (Show and Tell) Quotables (favorite quotes from the show)
Learning Goals
This is a social club, not an academic or instructional class. That being said, I whole-heartedly believe in the educational value of communicating with peers in facilitated discussions, especially when discussions pertain to a passion or interest of the student. My goal is that students will connect with others who share their interest and build confidence while communicating about that interest.

Welcome!
I'm Amy Davis (she/her) and I've been teaching on Outschool since 2020. My primary focus is on semester long high school science classes. My teaching style is to try to create a positive, low-stress environment with plenty of opportunity for student interaction without forcing or making anyone uncomfortable. I use Nearpod for interactive lessons and I provide a Google Slides digital notebook to all students, which includes handouts for each weekly lesson, and places for students to keep track of grades, notes, and resources.
I recognize that different families have different ways of keeping (or not keeping) grades, as well as different local regulations about classes and grades, so all graded quizzes and exams outside of class are completely optional.
A Little Background About Me:
I have a bachelor's of science degree in chemistry with a minor in mathematics, and a master's of science degree in secondary education with a minor in chemistry. I also currently teach adult education classes at my local community college. I have been a certified 8-12 science teacher in Texas since 2012, spending 5 years teaching in public school, 3 years teaching at a homeschool co-op and rest of the time teaching online and at the community college. I have taught chemistry, biology, earth science, life science, forensic science, integrated physics and chemistry in grades 8-12.
I enjoy hanging out with and homeschooling my two teenagers, spending time outside in my native plant wildlife garden, trying all kinds of new things, and relaxing with my three dogs.
If you have any further questions, please send me a message. I would love to hear from you.Reviews
