This 5 part class is the 2nd part of the Build a Business Plan Series.  While taking Part 1 is not a prerequisite, it's recommended as we'll reference the Business Plan Worksheet frequently.  (It will also be posted in the classroom, for those that haven't previously completed it.)  Classes cover:

     Week 1:  Social media marketing tools and best practices for teens 
     Week 2:  Defining what sustainability means for you and your business
     Week 3:  Speak confidently about your business using self awareness and a strong value proposition
     Week 4:  Visuals for your business Part 1: Design a logo for your business (Canva)
     Week 5:  Visuals for your business Part 2: Design a social media post for your business; wrap up conversation

This class requires very little materials - just a journal and a notebook.  Any worksheets posted in the classroom can be printed OR filled out digitally OR answers jotted in a notebook.  The Canva class requires a Canva account (free or paid) and access to Canva on the app or website.  Please ensure before signing up for this class that your learner can access Canva on a phone or computer, as I cannot troubleshoot Canva log-in issues during class.

Homework is assigned between classes, but is optional.  This class is highly interactive but students can choose how they want to participate (verbally or in the chat).  Please reach out if your teen has any learning needs I can be aware of to help them learn best!

PLEASE NOTE:  This class will only run with 3 or more learners, due to the interactive and collaborative nature of the class.  Please feel free to reach out about which dates currently have learners enrolled, or to see if other days are available!  This class works well for homeschool or Scout cohorts of 3 or more - reach out about a private section!

Students - even teens - need space to wiggle and be silly.  I try to be flexible and understand that everyone learns differently. 
It's also my responsibility to have a classroom that's not super distracting, as this can impact learning as well.  These classroom guidelines help us all start from the same page, and keep class flowing well!
1)  Video on or off (after verification)!  Discussions can be verbal or in *on-topic* chats.
2)  Be respectful; don't interrupt; raise your (physical or digital) hand!  Don't intentionally distract other students (e.g. putting things directly in front of the camera)
3)  Because they can be quite distracting, this class does not allow video filters, avatars, or background changes (except blur).
4)  If necessary, I will move a disruptive student to the waiting room.  If appropriate, I will let them back in for another chance to stay in class respectfully.  If this occurs and you have questions, please reach out to Support.
5)  Any racist, homophobic, body shaming, violent or inappropriate language/images will result in removal from class.  If this happens, you may email outschool@support.com with any questions.  

A few other notes:
-  Please click your meeting link 2-3 minutes early so we can start class on time!  
-  Per OS policy, if there are no students in the classroom 10 minutes after class starts, I will log off and end class.  (If you're having tech issues trying to enter the classroom, just send a message or post in the classroom, so I know you are there!)
-  If you cannot attend, please let me know at least 24 hours before class starts, so I can transfer you to a different section (when possible).  When it might not be possible: if you ask for a transfer for a multiday class the day before it starts, and your transfer will result in the class dropping below the learner minimum, I may not be able to offer a transfer.  But if I can, I will!
-  Class recordings are not automatically shared; they will be made available when possible.  Please note, new OS policy is that a learner can't watch a video until they have attended class, unless they are a verified learner.
-  Learners are encouraged to advocate for how they would like to participate.  If your learner needs adult help (e.g. adult on screen, adult answers for child or facilitates answers, adult takes notes), please let me know in advance per OS parent guidance.
