Lisa Boyd’s approach to teaching AP Summer Institutes (Course Description)
● My primary goal as an AP Consultant is to instill confidence in new and experienced AP teachers and to guide these educators to encourage and build confidence in their AP students, many of whom may be taking an AP course for the first time and may be the first in their families to apply and prepare for college.
● During the week, I will guide teachers to explore the Course and Exam Description; to understand the Enduring Understandings, Skills, and Essential Knowledge as well of the Curricular Requirements of the course; to grasp the elements, skill percentages, and scoring of the AP Exam; and to contemplate varied course structure/unit options and pacing for AP Exam readiness.
● In the APSI, we will probe diverse instructional practices for leading students to read literary and non-fiction texts closely and critically in a way that will foster success on the AP Exam and beyond; explore how to effectively use AP Classroom as tools FOR learning (not simply OF learning); consider scaffolded strategies to teach students to write analysis and argument essays; and discuss various ways to assess student progress and mastery of AP Skills.
● Participants will engage reading, writing, and analysis activities (mirroring their students’ experience); will participate in mock scoring sessions of student samples employing the AP Exam scoring guides; and will examine ways to manage the workload of teaching an AP course in which rigor does not equate to more work but rather deeper work.
