What is the Teen Mom Cooking Elective Course?
Our Cooking course uses project-based learning to give you credit for the nutritious meals you cook each day for you and your family. You are given the freedom to explore cooking skills, recipes, and meal ideas – either as an individual or in a group. Over the course of 16-weeks, you will prepare 15 meals while documenting your process in a 3-5-minute video submission submitted every two weeks.
Being a Teen Mom or Dad can have its challenges – managing school, work and being a new parent.
That is why this was designed with YOU in mind. Teen Mom Courses help young parents continue their high school education in a fun and engaging way. All of these courses make it possible to be a parent and earn your high school diploma.
Work at your own pace and document daily activities such as cooking and parenting for credit. You can also learn new life and parenting skills with these courses.
Parenting and Child Development Practicum
Our Parenting and Child Development Practicum course allows you to earn credit for being your child’s first teacher. You earn credit for applying knowledge learned about parenting and child development during everyday moments. Through bi-weekly video submission you will be graded on positive parent-child interactions; such as talking to your child, engaging, playing, and parenting techniques.
It is important to note that the Practicum course is not meant to be on-the-job training or an apprenticeship, but is rather an educational process of guided experiential learning designed for your personal growth as both a student and a parent.
Directed Reading in Parenting and Child Development
Our Directed Reading in Parenting and Child Development course gives students the freedom to choose what they read and how they apply it. Students will read and reflect upon primary works in parenting and child development.
Over the course of a year, students will read four books or equivalents on child basics, parenting, baby healthcare, quality childcare, and learning readiness. The application of learning will be displayed through project-based activities and open discussion forums with assigned Learning Coaches.
