Description
Class Experience
As required by Outschool regarding I have significant expertise in conflict resolution and mediation. I have received mediation training as part of my legal degree and receive continuing education training in both mediation and conflict resolution to retain my legal licensure. I have participated in several mediations and alternative dispute resolution proceedings. I have provided training in conflict resolution and de-escalation at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. In 2020 I co-taught a class on mediation at the Univerity of Maryland, School of Social Work.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
The class may, at times, deal with sensitive topics, such as injustice, persecution, and discrimination. Students will be expected and required to respect different views and experiences. To this end, we will look at history from varying perspectives, with a focus on objective and provable facts. The class will focus on multiple perspectives. Consequently, multiple news sources from varying perspectives will be used, including most commercial media sources, source material such as judicial decisions, legislative reports, original documents, and videos. Since this is a history class there will be references to historical documents and articles from a variety of sources to include, but not limited to, reference materials from services such as Westlaw, Lexis/Nexis, and the National Archives.
From time to time I will post materials and/or resources on Outschool prior to class.
