Description
Class Experience
I am passionate about our political system and helping students understand its foundations and importance in our everyday lives. My approach is to get students thinking and discussing how government relates to their lives by using examples and historical illustrations. I will use a College Board audited and approved syllabus.
American Government: Institutions And Policies, 16th Edition, By James Q. Wilson (E-book or any variation of this edition is fine). ISBN-13: 978-1337568395 This textbook is written from a balanced and interesting perspective. Students are welcome and encouraged to evaluate value judgments made by the authors. 5 Steps to a 5: AP US Government and Politics, current Edition, by Pamela Lamb ISBN-10: 1260123359 (wait until the spring to buy this book) Additional on-line resources and texts will be provided free of charge.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 4+ hours per week outside of class.
The course will occasionally touch on current events and topics of controversial nature. However, discussion will be kept at an age appropriate level.
