AP Art & Design teachers will examine the rubrics and curricular requirements for the Drawing, 2-D, and 3-D Design portfolios. Innovative activities and digital tools that can be used remotely or in-class will inspire inventive student inquiry, experimentation, and revision. Considering both conceptual and technical approaches to investigations, teachers will explore methods that guide students to write meaningful artist’s statements. Finally, APSI participants will be introduced to the National College Board’s AP teacher resources and their mission to promote equity and access for all students.

This workshop, designed for all AP Art History teachers, provides practical, down-to-earth responses to the following questions:
• With all this craziness, how can we help our students learn what they need to learn in our classes?
• Particularly in a virtual classroom, how can we help our students make the leap from simply knowing about works of art to developing a passion for studying them?
• Whether it is virtual or face-to-face, what can we do to take care of ourselves as we teach this course? How can we teach well and get the biggest bang for our buck while improving our efficiency and saving both our own and our students’ time?

This one-day, virtual workshop will focus on upcoming content in AP Biology such as cell communication and heredity, in both synchronous and asynchronous sessions. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss additional topics of interest to the group. You can tweak the “new and improved” 2020 teaching toolbox you have been building for this unusual year with tools suitable for teaching content and science practices, whether online, hybrid, or face-to-face. If you haven’t participated in online professional development before, I think you will be impressed at the ease with which participants make connections and form community in this fun, relaxed setting. - Section Code: 20FPEAPF03A

This 6-hour online workshop will be held on two consecutive Saturdays, Sept 26 and Oct 3. The training will offer AP Calculus teachers a choice of 3 different topics during each of 4 different 85-minute sessions. During each time slot, there will be one session devoted to BC Calculus content. This workshop is designed to meet the needs of both new and experienced teachers and will be focused around the four mathematical practices that should be woven throughout the AP Calculus course. Presenters Bryan Passwater, Scott Pass and Dixie Ross are long-time calculus teachers, College Board consultants and AP exam readers. On Saturday, Oct 3, they will be joined by former chief reader Dr. Stephen Kokoska of Bloomberg University who will provide insight into proper communication and justification techniques. With your district’s approval, this workshop may satisfy the 6-hour GT update requirement. - Section Code: 20FPEAPF18A

We’re delighted to add an AP Latin session to the TCU fall workshops! This session will focus on engaging instruction for Vergil, book 2, and Caesar, book 4, for face-to-face, hybrid, and online classes. We will cover content in Units 3 and 4, but our emphasis will be on enhancing student engagement and improving student learning. An important feature of the session will be addressing issues that the participants indicate are most important to them as they are teaching the course in our current environment. Teachers will be polled about this before we meet. We want to make the session informative and instructive and to answer questions that you find most pressing right now. - Section Code: 20FPEAPF20A

The session will focus on how to successfully transmit activities, lessons, and evaluations as schools face different limits to student access. Lessons will be designed to help those schools facing on-line learning, or mixed live and on-line “classrooms”. Five or six of the major topics of the course will be covered, using the 2019 course redesign as a guide. The session goal will be to provide activities and keys that can be immediately applied to courses. Updates from College Board will be included.
Tentative Topics: The new emphasis on per capita analysis and productivity, the multiple ways to track inflation, how banks and the Federal Reserve “create” money, and the basics of “Crowding Out”. As time permits, one of the 2020 FRQ questions will be analyzed as a sample of student expectations for the overall course.

This workshop will highlight three general and interrelated themes for improving the teaching and learning of algebra: to develop a deeper understanding of algebra; to promote process-oriented thinking; and to encourage precise communication. These themes will be addressed through:
• Using solved problems to engage students in analyzing algebraic reasoning and strategies
• Teaching students to utilize the structure of algebraic representations
• Teaching students to intentionally choose from alternative algebraic strategies when solving problems
Time will be spent discussing different strategies of best practices for teaching Algebra 1. Assessment questions will be analyzed and evaluated for developing necessary skills for our algebra students. Best practices that teachers are using during online/virtual instruction will be discussed and teachers will share what has worked for them and new ideas that might by appropriate in their teaching of Algebra 1.
