AP Government and Politics is a year long course at McEachern that meets every other day. Students will prepare for the national AP Exam to be administered in May in an effort to earn college credit for government.
The course is an introduction to key political concepts, ideas, institutions, policies, interactions, roles and behaviors that characterize the constitutional system and political culture of the U.S.
Units of Study: Foundations of American Democracy Interaction Among Branches of Government Civil Liberties and Civil Rights American Political Ideologies and Beliefs Political Participation
Students have access to a variety of resources for this class. Due to the nature of the AP program, many of these are secure documents. Students will be enrolled in Course Sites (an online learning management system) and most of their course documents and resources will be located in that system. https://new.coursesites.com/index.html khanacademy.org (Class code 2018-2019: KNRGSY) https://www.albert.io/ap-us-government (see Mrs. Beyke for the class code)
Most of the class updates and deadlines will be posted by Remind rather than the blog. Parents and students can sign up for Remind by texting @beykeapgov to 81010.
