Thank you for your interest in this course! I am so happy you are here. :)  My name is Jennifer Boham, and I am a licensed teacher, and was a brick and mortar teacher for 10 years before joining Outschool. 

In this ongoing class students will be met with a patient, kind, warm and seasoned math teacher, 2 times per week for 45 minutes each class meeting.  Class meetings will be for instruction and support.  The complete 2nd grade Common Core Math standards will be covered.  Class will be interactive, and students will be encouraged to participate during class.  (PLEASE make sure students have a personal whiteboard each day.)  Students will be provided weekly assignments and there will be a quiz after the completion of each unit to evaluate student mastery and provide feedback on areas for continued focus.  

My teaching style is activation through a real-world problem or a hands on activity.  I also utilize the gradual release method, (I do, we do, you do).  In my years of teaching experience, I have found that students are all unique, and each class is unique.  I adapt the classroom and instruction to the needs of the students.  This helps them feel confident because they are successful in math class and it also helps meet the learning goal.  My goal in each class is to make learning fun and engaging.  I love teaching, and after 10 years in a brick and mortar setting, I am thrilled to be an Outschool teacher, and love the flexibility it offers to my students and the classroom design.
 
PLEASE NOTE: Students are welcome to join the course at ANY TIME! :)

In this ongoing, twice weekly class, the complete 2nd grade Common Core Math standards will be covered.

I hope to see your learner in class soon. :)
