In this eight week flex course, students will grow in their understanding of the executive branch of government in the United States. Students will learn the constitutional basis for the powers of the presidency and powers of the president that have evolved over time from Supreme Court cases and judicial review. Students will examine the various roles the president plays and the way in which a president can be removed from office. The remaining elements of the executive branch and their purposes will be explored with a thorough overview of the president's cabinet of advisors. Lecture videos utilizing power point slides will be posted weekly for students to view. Some lectures will have worksheet study guides to fill in, and some will require learners to practice note taking skills. Students will receive outside homework via the class discussion stream to help reinforce class lessons and solidify the information they are learning. An end of session evaluation will be provided to parents for your student's portfolio/records upon request. Students must have completed the course homework to receive the evaluation. Students will be asked to contribute to thought discussions posted in the classroom twice a week. This dialogue will allow students the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills as they work on articulating views and listening to the ideas and opinions of others. Students will engage collectively in a 'Path to the Presidency' campaign project where they will present a campaign slogan and platform speech via video for classmates to review and provide feedback on.
