The President of the United States has lots of responsibilities and cannot do the job alone so let's explore all the roles our president fills and the important people that help him.

Class Experience

In this class, we'll focus on the Executive Branch of the United States government.  We'll cover the following topics in an interactive, kid-friendly way.

- What is a President?
- What are the 7 jobs for the President?
- What is the Presidential Cabinet and who is on it?
- How do we choose the President?
- What part of the governmental checks and balances is the executive branch responsible for?

If time exists (depending on discussion and questions), we will read the book "Duck for President" because it tells the story of the election process.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This class will focus on the OFFICE of the president, not politics or opinions of any one president.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I believe that teachers who love teaching AND love learning themselves, teach children to love learning.  As a homeschool mother of 4 (ages 7, 9, 13, and 16) my goals are to never stop learning myself and to teach my children to love the process of learning just as much as what they are learning.  In the 8 years I've been homeschooling, I've taught at several different co-ops and a multitude of grades.  I love working with the self directing students who love to jump right in to a new subject and the reluctant learners who need to understand how what they are learning applies to them to be motivated.  I have a bachelors degree in computer information systems, have completed many additional classes in both history and literature, as well as workshops in teaching strategies for multiple ages and levels of learners.  I look forward to working with your family!
