AP Statistics
In this exciting four-day workshop for AP Statistics, we will unpack the CED framework and the units of study, review course skills needed for mastery, discuss the development of an instructional plan that fits your school’s schedule and calendar, practice navigating AP Classroom to investigate the online resources available, and discuss strategies to support all learners in the AP Statistics classroom to be successful statisticians. A great deal of time will be spent experiencing various lessons and techniques that can be utilized in your own classroom. We will review AP Exam expectations and practice scoring free response questions to gain familiarity with scoring guidelines posted on AP Central as well as discuss how to utilize the Instructional Planning Report for reflection and improvement. Participants will also receive guidance on the course audit process. Attendees should bring a laptop or tablet and a graphing calculator to optimize our time together.
