Students are encouraged (but not required) to take Semester Business Exploration (Part 1), before taking this class.  If non-return students sign up for this class, we'll spend some extra time in the first class exploring their (real or imaginary) business idea.  

This class requires very few materials - just a journal and a notebook.  Any worksheets posted in the classroom can be printed OR filled out digitally OR answers jotted in a notebook.  Homework is assigned between classes, but is optional.  If you would like your learner to have accountability for homework, please message me in advance, and I will check in with them periodically via messaging.  

Final presentation is required, but multiple formats (video, essay, oral presentation, Powerpoint, etc) are offered.  Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves throughout this class based on their preferred learning and interaction style.  Videos on or off (after verification), communication verbally or through the chat, or listening only.  

If Outschool's new "marketplace fee" (which goes to Outschool, not teachers) pushes this class out of your budget, use code BISHINSTODAY10 to offset it.

Classroom note:  I try to create spaces that are supportive, cozy, and interactive.  My classes are structured, but casual and often flexible.  To reduce distractions and support students, I will share a basic set of guidelines at the beginning of class:
1)  After verifying, your video can be on or off!  
2)  Learners can respond verbally or in *on-topic* chats.  Alternatively, students who need more time can respond to in-class questions in a DM after class, for feedback.
3)  Don't intentionally distract folks (e.g. putting things directly in front of the camera)
4)  To reduce visual distractions: no video filters or avatars.  Choose a background at the beginning of class and stick with it (except for blur, which can be used anytime).
5)  If necessary, I will move a disruptive student to the waiting room.  If appropriate, I will let them back a few minutes later for a second chance.  If this occurs and you have questions, please reach out to Support.
6)  Any racist, homophobic, misogynistic, body shaming, or violent language/images will result in removal from class.  (This very rarely happens, but it's important to understand that I take this seriously.)  If this happens, email outschool@support.com.  

A few other notes:
-  Per OS policy, if there are no students in the classroom 10 minutes after class starts, I will log off and end class.  (If you're having tech issues trying to enter the classroom, just send a message or post in the classroom, so I know you are there!)
-  If you cannot attend, please let me know at least 7 days before the 1st class, so I can try to transfer you to a different section.  (If you request a transfer close to the start date, and it will result in the class dropping below the learner minimum, I may not be able to offer a transfer.  But if I can, I will!)
-  Class recordings are shared in the classroom approximately 4-12 hours after class.  Outschool's doesn't allow learner to watch a video until they have attended a class within the series OR they are a Verified Learner (with a green checkmark).
-  Learners are encouraged to advocate for how they would like to participate.  If your learner needs adult help (e.g. adult on screen, adult answers for child or facilitates answers, adult takes notes), please let me know in advance per OS parent guidance.
