AP® Calculus ABThis course will address issues of importance

to both new and experienced AP® Calculus

teachers: the current content of the College

Board’s Course Description, the AP® exam itself

and current scoring guidelines and effective

teaching strategies. Participants should bring the

graphing calculator used in their classes. We will

illustrate most solutions using the TI83-84 and

also examine various computer software useful

in the teaching of calculus. We will address

these technology changes and discuss how to

effectively help your students learn calculus and

prepare for the Calculus AB exam. Participants

are invited to bring their favorite books,

articles, cartoons, anecdotes, test questions, and

teaching ideas that work.

classes and curricula to prepare students for

these examinations. Practices and strategies

for each part of the exam will be explored

and examined. The class will emphasize, but

not be limited to, the recent examinations

and their changes, and will also focus on a

study of rhetoric and writing. The class will

also investigate and practice holistic scoring

and develop appropriate assessment vehicles

for language and rhetoric. Participants will be

expected to be active members of the class and

to make presentations to the class. At the end of

the class, participants will be required to submit

a course of study or a syllabus as a final project.

an advanced placement program. It will

emphasize textbook selection, writing a syllabus

that will pass the College Board audit, and

assembling a year-long reading and assignment

schedule. The workshop will examine how

maximize student involvement, how to put

the course content in context, how to teach

thematically, and how to construct challenging

multiple choice questions as well as open-ended

free response questions along with accurate and

reliable rubrics to grade them.

Participants will leave the workshop with

handouts on all of the active learning activities

described during the week and a wide range of

other materials, including sample AP® exams,

lesson plans, study skills suggestions, exam

review books, and critical thinking exercises.

opportunity to create a new course of study

or fine tune your approach. All topics in the

AP® Statistics Teacher’s Guide will be addressed

with considerable attention to preparing your

students for the AP® exam. We will look at how

to incorporate the graphing calculator as a tool

to improve our analysis of a problem. Daily

hands on activities will be introduced that can

be taken back into your classroom as well as

various methods for teaching a single concept.
