*This course listing is almost identical to the version of the class that I offer for middle school learners. This high school version will be more in-depth and require outside of class activities for learners, in order to achieve a deeper development of content knowledge. This class will meet many state curriculum guidelines regarding the U.S. Government. My goal is to inspire my learners to be historic investigators and to interpret information from multiple sources and viewpoints. ...
This class is taught in English.
Students will: -Describe of the roles of each of the 3 branches of government in the U.S. -Evaluate the effectiveness of the Electoral College. -Analyze the amendments that have been made to the Constitution. -Discuss how history and current times are affected by the Constitution. + way more, obviously! :)
I am a certified social studies teacher with over a decade of experience working with learners. I am certified in Missouri and Indiana to teach social studies to grades 5-12. *Social studies refers to American History, Geography, Government/Civics, Sociology, Psychology, and World History. I focus on individualizing lessons to meet the needs of learners, including those who are struggling and students who need more challenge. I have a BA in Political Science, a MA in Secondary Education, and an Ed Spec degree in Educational Technology. I use technologies in effective and creative ways to enhance the learning process and increase motivation of learners. If a parent has any questions about my education and/or qualifications, I encourage them to message me.
Homework Offered
I will provide suggestions for optional extensions of knowledge. These activities will be a range of reading tasks, DBQ's, forms, analysis questions, research opportunities, and short videos. A variety of resources will be shared to support learners who need or want additional practice and/or challenge. No learner should feel overwhelmed!1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Formative assessment/feedback will be included regularly. If a more structured grading metric is requested, I can include this as well through. It's very important that parents communicate with me early on if they would like "grades" and how regularly.Grades Offered
I will supply all materials.
This U.S. Government course is exciting, interesting, and will undoubtedly include sensitive subjects- as is true of all history. I will work hard to ensure discussion remains age-appropriate and pro-actively contact parents if any questionable situations occur.
