| Hands-on Math—Multiplication/Division and Fractions - new & continuing students welcome - Fall '23 | Tue | Andrea Coane | 09/05 - 01/16 | 09:30 AM - 10:50 AM | 00 & up | O | Hands-On Math builds a knowledge of multiplication, division, and fractions based on an understanding of the underlying principles involved, rather than rote memorization of tables. We begin the class with a review of foundational principles necessary to understanding multiplication like skip counting, doubling, halving, and place value. We then move on to working with arrays and area models as concrete representations of both multiplication and division simultaneously, thus linking them right from the start and avoiding an unnatural separation of the two concepts. This naturally leads us to learning the “key” multiplication facts (2s, 5s, and 10s) so that we may build on this foundation and reason our way toward learning the remaining multiplication and division fact families. After a strong foundation is laid through our work with multiplication and division, we will then move on to fractions.

In fact, research shows that reading literary fiction can build empathy and expand the ways in which we are able to understand others, which is vital for anyone, but particularly valuable for high school students. Discussing what we read can make a significant difference in how we understand and enjoy literature. For this reason, book clubs are a cultural mainstay, and this course is designed with that in mind. Here, students can read, discuss, deepen their knowledge of literary devices, and expand their understanding of others, and have fun in the process. This course is designed for high school students who are not in the “A-G track” at a charter school but would like an engaging, educational, and enjoyable way to explore language arts. This course will offer instruction, games, and activities that explore literature concepts such as characterization, foreshadowing, story arc, suspense-building etc. | Visit our staff page for instructor bios: https://learnbeyondthebook.com/our-team/ | Open | $395 (Includes all registration fees and materials) | 16 weeks | 80 minutes per class | 4:00pm-5:20pm | 09/05/23 | 01/22/24 | 16 | 80 | 13,14,15,16,17,18 | $19/hr; $25/wk; $99/mo | Co-founder & Teacher for High School Literature & Composition (2 levels), Well-being 101 (different age levels), Psychology courses, and English 101, 103, Public Speaking, Cinema, and Health companion college courses | English Language Arts | ||||

It could be because they don't have a topic of their choice, so we are trying to bridge that gap with this class. Kids get a choice about what they write about while Terri Stair, a certified IEW instructor, helps them perfect it. This class is ideal for those who are just getting introduced to the IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing) curriculum as well as those who've learned some IEW principles before. | Visit our staff page for instructor bios: https://learnbeyondthebook.com/our-team/ | Open | $395 (Includes all registration fees and materials) | 16 weeks | 80 minutes per class | 2:30pm-3:50pm | 09/08/23 | 01/19/24 | 16 | 80 | 8,9,10,11 | $19/hr; $25/wk; $99/mo | Accredited Instructor for the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW)IEW Writing Classes, Grammar Classes, Food Science Classes, Etiquette Classes, and Tutoring | English Language Arts | Semester class | |||

| Fashion Design & Culture through History & Beginning Sewing - Fall '23 | Fri | Lena Harbali | 09/05 - 01/16 | 04:00 PM - 05:20 PM | 10 & up | O | Fashion is different in every country and time period. Punks in 2021 Tokyo look very different from US hippies in the 70's. We will explore this wondrous variety of self expression throughout the world and the ages. We will discuss the cultural and historical significance of certain types of dress. Then, students will use this as inspiration to sketch out their own fashion collection. The question they will be asked is, if you lived at that time, and dressed in that style, what would your outfits look like? They can also fuse different aesthetics together to create their own unique style that cannot be replicated. | Visit our staff page for instructor bios: https://learnbeyondthebook.com/our-team/ | Open | $425 (Includes all registration fees and materials) | 15 weeks | 80 minutes per class | 4:00pm-5:20pm | 09/05/23 | 01/16/24 | 15 | 80 | 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 | $21/hr; $28/wk; $113/mo | Art, Fashion Design, Sewing, and Entrepreneurship | Art | Semester class |
