***NEW TO OUTSCHOOL?*** Send me a message and I'll send you my discount code!

This is a self-paced, 4-unit course designed to give your teen a toolbox of communication skills they can use for life! It's all about helping them feel confident and clear when they talk to anyone.

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

Unit 1: Building their Confidence: We'll start by helping them understand themselves better, then build their confidence so they can speak up clearly and with enthusiasm. We'll even tackle that age-old enemy, procrastination, so they have time to practice their skills!

Unit 2: Finding Their Voice: This unit is all about helping your teen be themselves! They'll learn how to express their unique personality and set healthy boundaries in conversations.

Unit 3: Communication in Action: Now that they have a strong foundation, it's time to put those skills to use! They'll learn the art of conversation, how to connect with others effectively, and the power of emotional intelligence to understand different perspectives.

Unit 4: Communication Power-Up: The final unit focuses on a growth mindset, so your teen sees communication as a skill they can always keep improving. They'll also learn how to overcome the fear of what others think and express themselves confidently in any situation.

Through interactive discussions, quizzes, and practical exercises, learners will develop valuable skills for a thriving future. Join me on this transformative journey of empowerment and self-discovery!

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.
