Course Description
This workshop is suitable for both new and experienced teachers.
Throughout our time together, we will dive into all nine units in depth, exploring various instructional strategies, laboratory investigations, innovative projects, and creative activities to enhance classroom engagement, learning outcomes, and course content interconnection. We will submit a course audit, familiarize ourselves with the CED, explore AP Classroom, go over recent FRQs, as well as other AP resources and best practices, in order to maximize planning, learning, and collaboration across participants.
The intention during this workshop is to offer collaborative and supported time for participants to share their insights, experiences, challenges, and solutions. We will work together to understand expectations, develop aligned curriculum, and better our courses for future years, as we bring our passions, best practices, and novel ideas to the forefront. Discussions of equity, access, and affordability, as well as reaching and supporting students with diverse backgrounds and various learning needs will be present. There will be some schedule flexibility to ensure that the individual needs of the participants are met during our time together.
Please be prepared to actively participate in discussions, activities, labs, and more. Minimal purchase requests of store bought materials may be needed to fully participate. In addition, please bring a laptop or similar device, as well as any and all resources that you’d like to share with the group!
