This class will teach learners about the Electoral College and the process that the United States uses to elect a President and Vice President every four years. We will discuss the history of the process and the historical significance of the Electoral College. This class will also discuss the pros and cons of the current process and the value of "battleground" states. This class will be an open discussion and I will encourage learners to ask questions and interact with me and the other students throughout the class. At the end we will play a game of Jeopardy review to review what learners learned in the class!
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
1. I teach classes on Football, Broadcasting, and History.
2. I have a degree in Communications Studies with a double minor in Broadcasting and Business from Mount Vernon Nazarene University. Throughout college I hosted a morning radio show and also announced all our school's athletic games on both radio and livestream. For the past 3 years I have been a quarterbacks coach at Piqua Junior High School and previously I played the position throughout high school. I am currently aspiring to get my masters degree in social studies education to become a social studies teacher in the future. I have spent time as a substitute teacher over the last several years and that experience made me realize I love students and interacting with them and helping them mature both academically and as people.
3. My philosophy is to create a culture where learners engage with each other and are constantly asking questions and challenging ideas. No question is a bad question in my eyes and I want learners to feel comfortable asking any question they don't know the answer to.
4. I am a middle child, I have an older sister and a younger brother. I'm a sports and history nerd. I love visiting museums and historical sites and attending football games with friends and family!
