デジタルポートレートを作ろう: 初心者のための Procreate! (中級レベル!)

Hello! I am so excited to have you checking out my Outschool profile!

My name is Maddy Fry and I cannot wait to be your Outschool teacher! I have been working as an online teacher for three years now. I have my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education, with a focus in Special Education as well, from Butler University. I have my teaching licenses for grades K-6 in Indiana and New Jersey and have over 10 years of experience with working with kids! 

My teaching style is one of high-energy and high interaction with the students. I love getting students engaged with funny voices, silly questions, and movement. I focus on letting students learn on their own and supporting individual thought with corrections where needed. I love getting to watch students form their own thoughts and share their opinions in the learning opportunity! 

Other passions of mine include digital creations in apps such as Procreate and online tools such as Canva! I love using both of these tools to create beautiful digital pieces of art and other personal tools such as planners and worksheets. I love teaching students how they can be digital creators as well by utilizing these tools for their own success. 

I can't wait to work with your child and will see them in the classroom. 
Let's get learning!

Class Policies: 

1) I aim to keep classes close to the scheduled amount of time, however, classes with low enrollments or especially talkative students may run a few minutes under or a few minutes over. 

2) If a class does not meet the minimum enrollment requirements, I will contact the parents and learners to confirm they want to continue class 24 hours before class is scheduled to begin. I will teach the class unless the parent or learner requests to transfer to a more-full section with the exception of camps and book clubs. Camps and book clubs must meet the minimum of three learners in order to carry forward and if, within 24 hours before the first meeting, they do not meet the minimum, the section will be canceled and the parents will receive a full refund. 

3) Classes will begin at the scheduled time, even if all learners are not in the classroom (unless there appears to be a technical issue). I will not contact absent learners during class time so I can focus on the learners who are present. However, I will contact absent learners after to transfer them to another section. 

4) If no learners are in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes before exiting the classroom. In this situation, I will contact the families after I have left the classroom to transfer learners to a new section.

5) I will post the class recording to the classroom as soon as it is available to me

6) Classroom expectations are as follows:
a. Learners will remain muted the entire lesson to avoid any distracting or awkward background noises for both the learners and myself. Learners will get to share and speak in class, but will remain muted otherwise. 
b. All learners are expected to be focused as much as possible for their current age. For younger learners, if they are welcomed to bring a toy or stuffed animal if that helps them remain in class. Older students are asked to not have their phones with them in class so they can focus on learning.
c. Parents and siblings are welcomed to watch the class but if siblings are going to both participate, each sibling must be enrolled in the lesson individually. Siblings cannot attend and participate in class with only one enrollment to the lesson. 
d. If a student cannot appropriately behave and participate in a lesson, they will be given three warnings before being placed in the waiting room. The student will be place in the waiting room as long as the teacher best sees fit and will be readmitted to class when the teacher feels they are ready to rejoin. If behaviors are extreme enough, the parent will be contacted by the teacher and the OutSchool team will be notified as well.
