The revised Course and Exam Description (CED) will take effect in the fall of 2024. This summer is a great time to get acquainted with the new course expectations!
All changes related to the new CED and AP Psychology course will be addressed in this session.
The new CED and changes to the course will be the focal point of our week!
In addition to matters of the new CED (exam question styles, content inclusion/exclusion, etc.), time will be devoted to specific teaching techniques, strategies, and lessons for each of the 5 specific content areas (e.g., Learning & Development, Cognition). For each area, teachers can expect to leave with no fewer than six NEW (not seen before) ideas, lessons, spins, or jams – along with “gold standards” that will prove the sine qua non of the AP Psychology toolbox. That’s 30-40 fewer lesson “days” to prep and a reduction in anxiety that’s hard to quantify.
This course will be delivered 100% online and will require participants to have internet connection from the hours of 8:00am-3:00pm Pacific from the dates of August 5-August 9. Each day participants will be expected to attend synchronous sessions and be active with course activities during daily asynchronous sessions. All synchronous sessions will be held via Zoom, and all asynchronous materials will be found on Google Classroom.
