Amanda Ashmead, College Board Consultant
All materials and links will be posted here, along with the daily agenda.
Welcome! My name is Amanda Ashmead and I am so excited that we have the chance to spend the week together talking about the best course in the world--AP English Language. I’ve taught this course for over 20 years, and it remains my favoriete--an exciting, ever changing challenge.
This week we will strive to balance three things:
The conceptual framework of the course--what is the vision?
The pedogogy of the course--what are the best practices for this course?
The exam--how can students convey their understanding of the skills we learn?
