Here's a breakdown of what they'll learn:

Unit 1: Launching Your Success: This unit helps your teen develop the habits and tools needed to achieve their goals. They'll learn how to resist distractions and focus on long-term plans.

Unit 2: Owning Your Journey: This unit empowers your teen to take charge of their lives. They'll learn how to set goals, create a plan, and turn dreams into reality.

Class Structure: All links to the pre-recorded videos, Google form quizzes (I recommend pacing at 2-3 per week) will be posted on the first day of class, along with each lesson's discussion questions. Students will have 4 weeks of teacher support which includes responses to discussions and any questions about the material. Students can expect responses to their discussions from me within 24 hours of posting their discussions.

The teaching style is engaging and learner-centered, with a mix of reading, video clips, and discussions to facilitate a holistic learning experience. Learners will have ample opportunities to interact with the instructor and their peers through discussion forums, and activities, fostering a supportive and interactive learning community.

Prerequisites: No prior experience or knowledge is required. This course is open to teens aged 14-18 who are eager to learn, grow, and develop essential life skills for personal and academic success.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION:
Students who complete this course during their 4 week session will be sent a Certificate of Completion that they can use to begin building their resume for future opportunities. If assignments are not submitted or submitted after the class end date without communication, the student will not receive the certificate as a natural consequence. 


ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND AI USE

This course emphasizes the development of independent critical thinking and communication skills. Therefore, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. to generate content for discussions is strictly prohibited. This class is all about the learner's own thinking and communication skills. Using AI or other outside sources isn't part of the plan.

Detection and Consequences: If I suspect the use of AI in an assignment, I will reach out to the student directly. The student will have the opportunity to rewrite the affected portion of the discussion without penalty by the original due date.

By upholding academic integrity and relying on your own intellectual efforts, you will gain valuable skills and knowledge that will benefit you throughout your academic journey and beyond.
