How Outschool Works
Did you know that early geography experiences help children to develop cognitive skills and begin to understand the world around them? These experiences are the foundation for understanding our sense of place. That is where this class comes in. Each week we will come together to learn foundational geography concepts to build a foundation for future exploration and knowledge-building. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁? This ongoing class does not have a “start” or “finish” because we are always...
Learners will be able to identify, create, and discuss concepts of geography.

As an ongoing class, there will not be any out-of-class assignments.
Learners will be provided with a PDF handout for each class. This will be posted within the Outschool classroom 24-hours prior to class.
There is no formal assessment within our class, however learners, as learners are engaging in the activities their understanding of the new vocabulary terms, will be assessed informally. This enables me, as the instructor, to differentiate the instruction to better help them understand a new term that is challenging to them or bring an additional level of challenge if a new term is more easily acquired. Families who need assessment for reporting purposes will find the PDF handout a useful tool to gain written records for assessment.
30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
