This AP® English Language and Composition Summer Institute will provide teachers with a foundation for setting up new AP® courses, guidance creating AP® Units relevant to each participant’s students, invigorating ideas for energizing existing courses, and ample strategies for the pre-AP® classroom. As a current AP® English Language teacher, the workshop consultant will offer numerous strategies for improving students’ abilities to read critically and write purposefully. Additionally, participants will receive an overview of My AP® Classroom (web-based resources and support from the College Board) and time to prepare a syllabus for the AP® Audit. Plus, as an AP® Reader and Table Leader, the consultant will provide scoring experience on recent AP® essays and practice with AP® multiple choice passages. The workshop will be structured with many hands-on lessons to help teachers choose classroom strategies to strengthen student success on AP® English skills.
