Learners taking the Adventurers League Campaign class will learn advanced aspects and mechanics of Dungeons and Dragons, as well as getting experience in roleplaying with a group. Students will learn how to play D&D over an internet format (which opens a world of possibilities for playing RPGS from home) and how to use tools like Microsoft Whiteboard and google to run a D&D session. 

D&D encourages critical thinking, problem solving, cooperation, improvisation, math skills, geography skills, science concepts, and social studies concepts. As a former teacher, I approach a game of D&D with all of these subjects in mind. 

In one of my recent Beginner Campaigns, my learners decided to act as negotiators for a conflict involving an intersection of global economy, colonization and prejudice. For context, the adventure hook was, quite simply: "You've been hired to clear a mine of monsters." Through their choices, the players evolved the story and decided how they wanted to approach the adventure. 

As a public school teacher, I ran an LGBTQ+ support club at my school. I want to use this space to note that this class is an inclusive class, and a safe space for students to express themselves. I am a proud LGBTQ+ ally, and I believe D&D to be a wonderful place to let young people learn to feel comfortable with themselves.
