1-2 horas por semana. Students are evaluated on mastery of learning goals as evidenced by preparation for class and verbal contributions to discussion and debate during class. Students will have the opportunity to contribute at least once during class. Parents will receive monthly feedback, more frequent if necessary, to encourage participation. Verbal participation is required and will be highly supported by facilitator, as needed, until students are comfortable with expressing their ideas with more independence.Certificado de finalización

My nature is to question everything. I consider it an imperative to pursue a path of independent learning in many subject areas, keep up with current events, and use life experiences to establish my own world view. It is an ongoing process, as it should be. I hope to instill or reinforce this imperative with my students.
