In this course, I will give sessions teaching the content of the AP United States History course for students taking the AP US History exam on May 9. I spent the last three summers grading essays for the AP World History: Modern Exam for the College Board, and I feel that I can use this experience to help students in this course succeed.

I will post lessons with a breakdown of the topics that need to be known about for the test, using the AP US History Course and Exam Description (CED) as the basis for what is absolutely necessary to know. My hope for this course is that students that join will communicate in the conversation board about what they might need extra help in, anything that was not clear in the lessons, or whatever else you may need.

My teaching style is very engaging, using a large amount of student interaction and student-produced examples. Students are often asked to give self-references to concepts in order to enhance memory retrieval with important concepts.

I will make sure that content is presented as if it were the students' first time learning the information, so as to accommodate for students who may be learning the material at different times than others or for students self-studying for the AP US History Exam

For more information on the course, a description of the exam, and much more, the College Board's Course at a Glance and the Course and Exam Description (CED) are posted in the classroom so that all learners have access to this important information.
