Workshop Overview

This workshop 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 new Course and Exam Description that accompany the AP Calculus course. Additionally, participants will gain access to hundreds of files that can be easily implemented in their classrooms. These files include guided practice, skill builders, formative assessments, and activities. These takeaways will be taught through hands-on activities, presentations, and problem-solving.

Live-online instruction will be conducted through Zoom while asynchronous learning assignments will be managed through Canvas, the University’s learning management system (LMS).
