課堂經歷
How does the Electoral College work? Did you know it only takes 270 votes to become President of the United States? In this class students will be introduced to the Electoral College system. Students will learn how the electoral college was devised by the founding fathers, how the presidential election process was modified by the 12th Amendment, and how the system works today. Students will be introduced to the characters John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and William Crawford, who so greatly split the electoral vote in the Election of 1824 that the electoral college failed to produce a winner and the election was sent to the House of Representatives -- and the "corrupt bargain" that doomed the Adams presidency. We'll also look at the numerous times in American history when the winner of the popular vote for President has lost the electoral college. We'll also discuss how Robert F. Kennedy may have likely been elected president through a vote by the House of Representatives following the 1968 election, were it not for his assassination. This should be a fun class as many of the characters and storylines involved are quite colorful! I am offering this class by request. It is a natural for me to offer as I authored a book in 2016 about the electoral college and the 12th amendment!
學習目標
Students should end the class with a general understanding the the Electoral College and the 12th Amendment of the US Constitution, and be able to converse about elections in US history when these things have been of particular importance.

The Electoral College by Robert T. Miller (Editor)
After the Election of 1800 when Jefferson and Burr ended in a tie, our country’s leaders realized they needed to make some changes to the way we elected our president and vice-president. So they passed the 12th Amendment. Here’s a video that explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9KWHzQo7i0

認識老師
教師專業知識和證書
I actually wrote a book about this very topic, so when a parent requested I teach it, this was an easy one to offer! I also hold a bachelor of science in political science from Indiana Wesleyan University and an alumnus Honors Fellowship at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
We live in a big and fascinating world and one of my goals with my classes is to help kids develop an interest and appreciation for the world around them and different cultures. My classes draw from my own experiences as a world traveler. I've visited and lived abroad in seventeen countries. Much of what we do in my classes is the same type of research I would do on a destination before I would travel to that country. I'm also the former deputy director of the historic home of President Ronald Reagan and in 2010 was a candidate for United States Congress.
