POPULAR CLASS, NOW IN SELF-PACED FORMAT! 

This class is introduction to bettering your social interaction skills for improved/more positive interactions with peers and adults. Learners will discover what it means to be "in the zone", look at examples, and analyze real-life situations.  We'll then delve into looking for social cues, starting conversations with others, and conversational techniques that add communicative agility in social situations. 

By the end of the class, learners will understand what "the zone" is, and how "the zone" helps them find balance in their social interactions, which improves their chances of making connections with others while staying true to themselves.

Abridged syllabus:

Videos 1-2: "Am I In The Zone?" Level 1. This is the introduction to social awareness and why it's important for making connections with others.
-What is "the zone"?
-Using "the zone" to build connections with peers
-Finding friends

Videos 3-6: "Am I In The Zone?" Level 2. These videos cover topics such as "should I say it", asking questions vs. asking too many questions, finding kids to talk to, choosing a topic, segues, and building and maintaining rapport.

Learners can proceed through the videos at their own pace. Learners can post questions/comments in the classroom or private message me - in fact, it's encouraged! Posting in the classroom encourages peer-to-peer interaction with other learners, while I'll also be available to provide feedback or answer questions in the classroom or via Outschool's message system.

My teaching style is animated, engaged, real, empathetic, and warm. Because learners excel in different ways, multiple modalities are used: text, photos, line drawings, spoken language, and gestures. All learners welcome - neurotypical, neurodiverse, all gender expressions, religious/secular. 

I am a twice-exceptional individual, as well!
