About the store
I have been teaching since 2008. I primarily teach A.P. U.S. Government and Politics. Throughout my career, I have also taught American History, Government, Economics and Criminal Justice. In my most recent group of AP test scores, 93% scored a 3 or above on the A.P. test! Every year that I have taught A.P. U.S. Government and Politics my students have scored well above the state and global averages.
In my store, you'll find awesome deeper learning activities, including a redistricting activity, an electoral college activity, in depth required primary source analysis resources, class debates and presentations, engaging Supreme Court case lessons and more!
A note about my course organization:
My course is a full year. I know some A.P. courses are one semester only. As such, my unit organization is for a full year. Regardless, you can still take any or all of the resources and planning and adjust for a semester course.
