Forward Thinking…Short Term I want to revisit my unit/lessons/activities/assessments for
the following concept:
Terms and definitions necessary for grasping this concept include:
Things I can do easily and quickly to tackle this concept include:
Skills my students already use in/out of the classroom
Resources that could be useful in incorporating this concept
Forward Thinking…Long Term
Long-term plans to restructure my course to better address this concept include:
Skills my students already use in/out of the classroom
Resources that could be useful in incorporating this concept
I foresee these challenges….AND possible solutions:
Interpreting AP ScoresIf you have observed…Most scores in a subject are 1’s and 2’s:
o Review the course content against the published Course Description on AP Central to ensure that students are being taught what the exams measure. This is especially true if students whose classroom scores are high do not achieve at least average scores on AP Exams.
o Consider the opportunities you have had for Professional Development and factor in student readiness (motivation, reading and writing skills, prior course work).
Most AP Scores in a subject are 4’s and 5’s:o It could be possible that the selection criteria for the class are overly
rigorous. Consider opening the class to more students.Scores on the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the AP
Exams are widely divergent:o Implement practice sessions on test skills for multiple-choice exams, or more
assignments during the school year that emphasize writing and organizational skills.
