How Online Workshops Will Work
No one wants to sit and watch a 32-hour long webinar, so we are working closely with our consultants to develop a modified course schedule that allows you greater flexibility, but still gives you the knowledge and skills you need.
Live-online instruction will be conducted through Zoom while asynchronous learning assignments will be managed through Canvas, the University’s learning management system (LMS).
Once you register, we will provide you with more details on how to access the platforms as well as your materials.

Meet the Instructor
Malcolm Reed
Malcolm Reed is a Certified Teacher in Social Studies-History who has been teaching Social Studies in the Baton Rouge Metropolitan area in Louisiana since 2015. He created his own African American Studies curriculum at McKinley High School—the first school in Louisiana for black students—before moving to his current job at St. Amant High School, the second largest school in the state. Malcolm was one of the original 63 teachers nationwide and only three in the state of Louisiana that taught AP African American Studies in Pilot Year 1 (2022-2023) and was selected to be part of the first cohort of College Board-endorsed AP African American Studies Workshop Consultants in 2023 to train teachers in Pilot Year 2 and beyond. Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, Malcolm provided support to Pilot Year 2 teachers as a co-facilitator of monthly Office Hour sessions and a leader for extra support sessions hosted by the College Board.
Malcolm also served as a Reader, scoring Projects at the inaugural AP African American Studies Exam Reading for the pilot exam in 2024. From 2016-2019, Malcolm was a member of a program called Humanities Amped, where he was the lead Social Studies Teacher. As the lead teacher, he co-taught ELA and social studies in a project-based learning environment that also focused on the art of critical literacy and social emotional learning, culminating that experience by facilitating research conferences for those students held on LSU's campus. This was all done while holding the title of head baseball and assistant football coach. After spending one season as head football coach at McKinley, he left that position to become an assistant football coach and Social Studies teacher at St. Amant High School.
