Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
In this class we will take a look a the lives and impact of different women, both from history and modern day. This is a subscription class, which means:
            - Each week is an independent class. You pay for each week that you would like to join. You can pay for each week that you choose to attend class. There is no start or end date, so feel free to come and go as your schedule dictates.
             - As this is a weekly subscription class, there is no homework. Each class will consist of a powerpoint lecture, some videos, and a brief history about the field or time period that each woman lived in. The last 15-20 minutes of class will be a guided discussion about the journey each of these women took in their lives. Each student is encouraged to examine the topics discussed, look at how society helped or discriminated against each of these women, and explore how society has changed. 

Women we will be learning about:

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.

I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
