| Description:
An article entitled “The State of Civic
Education” written on November 25, 2025, and posted on the Hoover
Institution’s website states that somewhere between a half to a third of
all adults are not able to identify all three branches of government. This
information was collected from the annual Civics Knowledge Survey at the
Annenberg Public Policy Center. This fact has far reaching implications
such as lack of confidence in democracy to lack of engagement. A person is
unlikely to cherish or protect the freedoms they do not know or
understand. My goal is for students to gain more knowledge of how our
government is structured but also why it’s set up the way it is. In this
course students will study the philosophies and beliefs that contributed
to the creation of our democracy, the framework of the US Constitution,
the Bill of Rights, the structure of government at each level, the
responsibilities of constituents and so much more. We will hear from those
employed in local government and those in service, as well as study
historical texts, Supreme Court cases, and modern events. Tutor: Corinne Brummond has a B.A. in Cross-Cultural Ministries and Bible from the University of Northwestern. She is a homeschool mom and military spouse of 25 years. Over the years, she has volunteered with a committee to establish the city of Maple Grove as an official Beyond the Yellow Ribbon city and worked to get a veteran’s memorial in the city park. She has been an advocate with various healthcare non-profits lobbying at the state and federal level. For the past five years she has served on her city’s Planning Commission and is currently the chair. Outside of civil service, her interests lie in regenerative agriculture, square dancing, and reading. She lives on a hobby farm on which she produces maple syrup, tends a garden and keeps goats, horses, chickens, ducks and too many cats!
