The 2024 Presidential Election becomes more complex the closer we get to November. In this ongoing course, learners can follow the election closely, all while they learn about the election system, politics, and U.S. history!! Each week, learners will discuss, analyze, and learn about current events in the election. We're following several Supreme Court cases, pending trials, the National Conventions, VP picks, and much more. As topics arise, I provide background information, historical...
- The purpose of this ongoing course is to give learners the opportunity to dissect the complex system of politics, elections, and voting in the U.S. into understandable, bite-size pieces. My goal is to help learners make sense of the world of politics and elections as one is taking place!! By making it understandable, it also becomes more exciting and accessible!
A veteran of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps, I also hold both Bachelor and Masters degrees in Legal Studies and have a long, unconventional career working with the U.S. government and legal systems. As a soldier, I worked as a Corrections Specialist (prison guard) in a military prison, giving me a unique perspective of our military, our diplomacy, and our criminal justice systems. In the civilian world, I spent several years as a paralegal, then 10+ years as a business owner and freelance ghostwriter. I ghost-wrote hundreds of articles, and 5 books, for various attorney's, victims rights advocates, entrepreneurs, government agencies, and law enforcement officers. Each of these projects required an unparalleled level of research and fact-finding, as well as an unbiased analyses and review of complex facts. Throughout my professional career, I learned countless bits of U.S. history along the way, particularly how it relates to civics and geopolitics. Fascinated by what I learned, and using the research and analysis skills I gained, I've continued my in-depth study of U.S. history and geopolitics for years. Now, as a homeschool mom, I use my education, career, experience, research, and skills to write my own social studies curriculums and courses on civics, government, law, history, criminal justice, geopolitics, and business. Not only do I teach my own two daughters, but I've been offering live courses in the local community since 2020, on Outschool since 2021, and at a homeschool co-op since 2022. Teaching has become my passion, and I love passing on what I've learned to the next generations!

We will be discussing many details about the political, voting, and election systems in the U.S., many of which are controversial and/or hotly debated. My goal is to always keep class discussions civil and respectful, while still giving learners a place to voice their own opinions on current events and issues. Students will be expected to be mature about controversial topics, and respectful of opposing opinions and beliefs.
