Due to the vastness of options in Dungeons and Dragons, students will learn and exercise many skills, including the following:
-clear communication
-strategy and tactics
-collaborative storytelling
-vocabulary
-critical thinking
-teamwork
-problem solving
-conflict resolution
-resolutions of ethical and moral dilemmas
-math and reading fluency
-etc.

I have spent a great deal of time playing in and running many TTRPGs including Pathfinder and Dungeons and Dragons. I also have much experience teaching collaborative storytelling and D&D to new players. As far as teaching children goes, I've spent over a decade teaching ages 8-18 in the classroom in subjects ranging from Geometry and Algebra to Latin to Rhetoric, Literature, and Political Philosophy. I have served in many roles from Master Teacher to Head of Curriculum to Network Trainer to Academy Headmaster (all with Great Hearts Academies). 

To prepare and run this course, I will use my experience and knowledge of (as well as references to) "The Core Rulebook", "The Gamemaster's Guide", "Bestiary 1", and the adventure "We Be Goblins".
