Workshop Overview
This course will prepare secondary mathematics teachers to be highly effective in teaching AP Calculus to their students. Throughout the course, several strategies will be presented and modeled for teachers so that they can share these with their students to help them be successful on the AP Calculus Exam in the spring. Teachers will become familiar with the Course and Exam Description that accompanies the AP Calculus course. Additionally, participants will develop a library of files and digital resources that can be easily implemented in their classrooms. These files include guided notes, discovery activities, formative assessments, and other online activities. These takeaways will be taught through hands-on activities, presentations, and problem-solving.

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 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.
