課堂經歷

英語程度 - 未知
美國 8 - 11 年級
Please note, if you are enrolled in Part One. Part Two will be offered at the same time and on the same day beginning in January 2025.

This course will provide students with knowledge of United States Government that will enable them to participate effectively in civic life in America. Students will examine fundamental constitutional principles; the organization of government at the federal, state, and local level; the rights and responsibilities of citizenship; the policy-making process; political parties and elections; comparative government, foreign policy, and the American economic system.   This class is designed to fulfill State Government Requirements.  Please research your State's requirements so that you will receive full credit.  I encourage non-US students to take this class as they bring a great element to discussions.  I offer the course in one part or two, depending on your state's requirements and student's interest. Students must take the first section to continue on to Part 2.  

I purposely keep my class sizes a bit smaller so that I can make sure each student is participating and engaged.  

Topics Include (See syllabus for more detail):
Early Philosophical Foundations of Government (Hobbes/Locke)
Social Contract Theory
National Debt/National Deficit
Road to the American Revolution
Declaration of Independence
Articles of Confederation
Constitution
Impeachment
Elections
Electoral College
(We do Campaign Funding in Part II)
Current Events
Constitutional Clauses
Bill of Rights
Landmark Case Introduction

Sample Weeks:

Week One:  Philosophical Foundations of American Government
Students will discuss the Divine Rights of Kings, Magna Carta, English Petition of Rights, English Bill of Rights, Rule of Law, State of Nature, Social Contract Theory, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Tabula Rasa, Inalienable Rights, Human Nature, and Natural Rights Philosophy.  Students will be given a scenario where they will create their own Government to reinforce our lesson but to also demonstrate the difficult task our founding fathers had when creating our country.

Week Two:  Types of Democracy and Who Governs?
In class we will discuss Direct and Representive Democracy.  We also will define what it is to be an elite.  We then look at different theories of who governs:   The Class View (Marx), Power Elite (C. Wright Mills), Bureaucratic View (Weber), Pluralist View and Creedal Passions View.  Students will create a first person role play where a town meeting will be held to discuss a new law.

學習需求
All learners welcome. Parents should contact me directly to discuss specific learning needs.
父母的引導和規範
This is a fun class meant to spark student curiosity in US government. Although there is no text, I use a lot of material from We the People. We will also have Current Event Discussions and students will journal with prompts to review key topics.
供應清單
Journal (Marble Notebook works well). Students may want to go with a three subject notebook or binder.  They will need a separate compartment for journals, handouts, and notes. 
Access to Articles for Current Events

教師專業知識和證書
博士學位 由 State University of Buffalo School of Law
I am a retired Professor and High School teacher.  I am also a practicing attorney in New York State.  I taught Advanced Placement US Government, Advanced Placement Comparative Government and traditional High School Government for over ten years. I also have taught Criminal Justice at the Collegiate level, both undergraduate and graduate courses.  I know it is important to introduce a fact based, non biased lesson to students that will foster discussions with their family.  For twenty years I have had the opportunity to work with students from Pre-K through Graduate School in both a traditional learning atmosphere and those classes that deviate from neurotypical teaching.  I held my teaching certification in World History/US History/Government and Economics for Middle and High School.   My teaching philosophy is that all students are individuals and unique learners that must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and where mistakes are considered education victories.

While incorporating the eight learning styles into each class, I believe that there are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) The teacher's role is to act as a guide. (2) Students must have access to hands-on activities. (3) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning. (4) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (5) Technology must be incorporated into the school day.
