Qué está incluido

1 reunión en vivo
50 minutos horas de clase por semana
Tarea
1 hora por semana. Students will be given an optional independent activity at the end of each class. Each activity is designed to help students achieve one of more of the following: -Reflect upon concepts learned in class and explore their thoughts/opinions -Assess their knowledge and comprehension -Extend further upon concepts that were introduced in class Completion of the activity is optional, and it is up to each individual student's needs whether or not they will complete the homework each week. Homework may be submitted for grading and feedback, but this is not a requirement.
Evaluación
In addition to weekly homework assignments, written progress reports are available upon request. Student must have been in class for a minimum of 8 weeks, and must display adequate levels of participation in class in order to receive a progress report (passive listening is welcome in class and students are not forced to actively engage, but it is very difficult to analyze a student's comprehension/knowledge/etc. in these cases. Whether or not sufficient observations have been collected on a student to create a progress report will be analyzed on a case by case basis).

I obtained a B.ScH Honours in Biology, during which I extensively studied conservation biology and environmental science. My concentration in my B.Ed is Environmental Education, where I was trained specifically to teach to all ages about environmental and climate science. In addition, my teachable subjects are biology and geology, both of which are subjects which cover climate change and/or the effects of climate change. I have a great deal of experience training and teaching about this topic, both on Outschool and off of the platform.
