Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details). - Earn credit for things you are already doing and enjoy - Access to a mentor while working independently to complete education hours Why This Class As your student’s social circle grows, you want them to be aware of the effect their words and deeds have on others). This course is designed to give your student the self-awareness and relationship skills needed to have a positive impact. Throughout this course, mentors guide students to become more aware of their communication habits and the messages they send and receive through body language, tone, and words. Students practice listening with compassion and sincerity, improving the timing of their words and actions, and identifying their negative thoughts and influences and the impact those have on their lives and relationships. By the end of this course, students have gained a deeper understanding of why they communicate the way they do and made changes to improve their own life experience and their relationships with others. As a result, they are ready to experience life on a deeper and more fulfilling level. ![Featured Image](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/6b-1.jpeg) [![REGISTER NOW](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e) **Course Details** Recommended Grade: 6th Prerequisites: None Estimated Weekly Hours: 6* Format: Live Credits: 0.5 *Help from parents will be necessary to complete some of these projects.
