1 hour per week. I will provide a worksheet that students need to complete after each class. Each worksheet will be brief and should take no more than 30 minutes to complete.Class Experience
Who hasn't thought about what they would do or change as President or leader of a country? In this 4 day course, we will take a deeper look into that exact thought. In each class, we will learn about and discuss several components that make up this important role. This class will be heavily based on discussions and student participation. Students will also be asked to complete a short homework assignment after each class. The homework should take no more than 30 minutes each night. In our final class, students will have the opportunity to give their first campaign speech.
Our tentative schedule will be as follows:
1st class: Learn about leadership and talk about what makes a good leader (communication, integrity, confidence, honesty, decision making skills, empathy etc.)
-Homework: Complete leadership worksheet
2nd class: Learn the different areas that a President can influence (education, healthcare, security, environmental, economic, judicial, and social) Discuss what our top priorities would be as President and learn the importance of choosing advisors
-Homework: Choose advisors activity
3rd class: Learners will answer questions from "reporters" about their presidential priorities and advisor choices; Learn about budgeting
-Complete Budgeting worksheet
4th class: Discuss and complete an outline to prepare for campaign speech; Give a short campaign speech to inform and persuade us as to why you should be President and what you would do
I hope to see my future presidential candidates in class!Learning Goals
This class will give students a general understanding of the different roles and responsibilities of a leader, the concept of budgeting, and practice speaking.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
My name is Morgan Hernandez and I am an online ESL teacher, mom to a spirited 2 year old, and a former barber. I have been teaching online for the past 3 years and love that this unique classroom setting allows me to meet student from all parts of the world. I hold a B.A. degree in Human Development with a focus in Early Childhood Education from California State University Long Beach. I have always loved working with students and have worked in both the classroom and after school settings. I currently live in Florida with my family, which includes a dog(Axel) and cat(Arthur). I have a passion for animals and would have a zoo if my husband allowed it!
All of the classes I will teach will come from my passions for animals, reading, writing, American governments, sewing, hair grooming and having fun. One of the most important lessons I learned from working as a barber was to truly listen to people and appreciate each individual’s unique qualities. When working with students, one of my main goals is to help them feel confident and proud of the traits that make them who they are.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me and I hope to see you in class soon!Reviews
