U.S. Foreign Policy Simulation: Cyber Attack
Class experience
Using interactive materials developed by the experts at the Council on Foreign Relations, students will learn about the tools of diplomacy and the role of the National Security Council by taking on the role of a member of the NSC, advising the President of the United States about how the country will respond to a realistic international situation. Classes are highly interactive and will involve a mix of history, research, current events, and foreign policy as students prepare for the...
Students will learn the skills of diplomacy and national security, and will develop civic knowledge about how the executive branch of the US government handles critical foreign policy situations. Not only will they finish the class with a better understanding of the government, they will also have in-depth knowledge of current events that impact the United States. Through participation in the simulation, students will learn collaboration skills, communication skills, and critical thinking.
I love helping students see the connections in our world. The simulations created by the CFR are realistic and approachable project-based learning. I have taught this class to students both in person, and online, and students find that they continue to see the relevancy of what they learned long after the class ends. It is a great way to incorporate the government, history, economics, and geography classes that I teach separately. I have a BA in Political Science, History, and Secondary Education and a MA in American Studies. I have over 10 years of experience teaching high school and college students social studies and critical thinking skills. My expertise in teaching is in helping students see the many ways that history, geography, politics, and economics intersect. I have used these CFR simulations in live and online classes for several years.
