Anita Max Wynn is so important for you to know if you teach middle or high school right now. I’m sure you’ve heard of Anita by now because she went viral before the holiday break. She’s important to know not because she’s even a real person. She’s an indicator of where students are spending their time and energy. She’s a trend that has come and gone. Let’s be real, you can’t know every trend kids are into. They move too fast so none of us old people will ever really be able to catch up. But. The big ones shouldn’t pass you by. One of the easiest ways to make your students feel seen and heard is to step into their world and bring it into your classroom. They know you don’t know everything. They now you don’t fully “get it.” But I guarantee that if you walk into your classroom today with a room full of high schoolers and you say “before we get started can someone tell me who Anita Max Wynn is?” You’ll see laughter, eyes wide and will have a super fun 5-10 minute discussion. Is it standards aligned? No. Not in the slightest. But it’s the relational work you do that we all know is so important. #education #relationshipsmatter #futurelearning #anitamaxwynn

What should you look for when choosing an after-school program?   In addition to cost and schedule, think about what academic enhancements the program will bring to your child, do the projects interest your child, and do the classes engage in hands on creating? After-school classes should be considered an extension of the school day, with rich, different activities in each class.

Great tools here to help learn more about your students and build the foundation for a great school year!

Thinking of enrolling your child in our 6th - 8th Grade classes? Here's an example of what their daily schedule may look like! To find out more, get in touch today! https://bit.ly/47BLQeX #IdealDevelopmentOfEducationAcademy #IdealDevelopment

A "one-size-fits-all" approach to anything tends to leave out valuable players. That's not the kind of world we'd like to live in-- and that's certainly not the type of education system we're building here at Outschool. Every kid’s mind is a different size and shape, thriving at its own pace. It's our goal to give them the space to grow in their own way. This is one of the main reasons we launched our new Self-Paced classes. Because students deserve to learn their way, on their own time, with expert educator support.
