I hold a BA in Sociology and Social Work and MPhil in Sociology. I'm currently working towards an MA in Education. I love and enjoy teaching the Social Sciences: sociology, geography, history, economics, and the foundations of social science research. My journey in the social sciences began with a fascination for maps and a curiosity about different regions of the world. For me, teaching young learners about geography here on Outshoot is not just about providing information; it's about inspiring a lifelong love for learning and a deeper appreciation for the world we live in. I am excited to share my passion for the social sciences with my students and guide them on their journey to becoming informed, thoughtful, and engaged global citizens.
Assessment
Frequency: available upon requestDetails: To ensure that students are understanding the material, developing critical thinking skills, and making connections between the concepts taught, informal assessments are offered weekly through short quizzes, games, map exercises.
Learners do not need any experience to participate in this course.
Students are encouraged to bring a world map, globe and the week's printout to class.
This class may use blooket or gimkit for reviewing the lesson. These are fun, gamified learning platforms that enables students to review class material by answering questions in a quiz-style format. Students do not need an account or additional device to play the game. I will send a direct link to the game where the student clicks and joins the game directly. For the interactive component of the class, I may share external web links from reputable organizations such as (but not limited to) the US Census bureau with students during class time either for use in class or as a resource they may use later on. Content shared has been verified by me and found to be age-appropriate. The class also utilizes google earth (via screen share). Please note that some video content is from Youtube (learners will watch no more than 3 minutes)
