I've been working as an assessment and curriculum developer for the past 7 years, where I specialize in the field of Development Economics and Comparative political systems. I have a PhD in Political science and two Master's Degrees, one in International Relations and the other in Business Economics. The uploaded resources are engaging presentations, quizzes, and lessons that I use regularly in my classroom.

A short PowerPoint presentation that can be used for one lesson and is mainly useful for providing a background on the European Union. It can help provide students an overview of why the EU was created and it explains the treaties that are significant for the functioning of the EU. It also includes a few engaging activities that will help students understand the content of the presentation. This presentation works great along with a presentation I made on Brexit, that can be found on the following link: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/brexit-examining-the-economic-and-political-aspects-11686242. The presentation addresses the following learning outcomes:
Identify the formal structure of the EU;
Recall several treaties relevant to the formation of the EU;
Understand relevant trends to the further evolution of the EU;
Identify key areas of cooperation for EU member-states;
Identify key concerns in the further development of the EU.
This bundle includes three resources that help a student grasp the concept of sustainable development. The key resources are understanding the impact of human and natural capital on economic growth and understanding how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have impacted society today.

A few resources that describe the impact of Brexit on the UK, test the knowledge of students on the 2017 elections and provide a basic framework for the understanding of foreign policy.
As much as it is possible, this presentation attempts to provide students with an engaging and interesting view of basic economic concepts. It also provides clear definitions and examples of key macroeconomic variables. It can work as a 45-minute-long lesson in any class of 14+ that requires the understanding of key economic variables (global politics, economics, history).
This is a detailed examination on all of the facts pertinent to the Brexit debate. The goal of this presentation is not only to educate students on the impact of Brexit, but also provide fun and meaningful details that will help them in their future studies. It contains:

* a short history of the British relationship with the EU;
* an analysis of the impact of Brexit on the UK economy and on global stock and equity indexes;
* an analysis of the (domestic and foreign) political implications of Brexit;
* an activity that discusses direct democracy on the example of Brexit;
* an activity that discusses the priorities of the UK based on Theresa May’s Brexit speech;
* guidelines for writing a short essay with details prepared for 3 topics.
This presentation can be used with any students age 15 or above. The presentation consists of 20 detailed slides with further guidelines provided in the notes section. With the activities provided, this can easily be used for several lessons, as only one of the activities is expected to last 45 minutes.
