High school clubs can be a great way for students to develop communication skills, learn how to work effectively with others, and to think outside the box. Many schools have high school clubs, but they can be especially important to students enrolled in an independent study program.  As a teacher working virtually with students who are learning from home, I understand how important this is.

Being a High School Club Advisor is one way that I can help to promote high-quality social and emotional learning in a school environment.   Not only do I get to provide a safe virtual environment (Zoom) for honest, open discussion, but I get to listen to future citizens who can have a positive impact on the future and affect change. It's pretty awesome.  And I learned to use Discord, a VoIP and instant messaging social platform. I wasn't quite sure what it was before.
