Join us for a collaborative professional development session focused on maximizing the potential of AP Classroom. This session will guide AP teachers through the key features of the platform, including question banks, progress checks, and instructional reports, while exploring strategies for effective implementation in daily instruction. Whether you're new to AP Classroom or looking to refine your approach, you'll leave with practical tips and shared ideas to support student success across all AP subjects. By the end of the 90-minute session, attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to navigate and use AP Classroom’s tools to support student learning and track progress. They will gain practical strategies for integrating question banks, progress checks, and reports into their instruction. In addition, they’ll benefit from collaboration with other AP teachers, sharing best practices and ideas, and will have had time to independently explore the platform and begin applying what they’ve learned to their own courses. Staff will benefit by gaining confidence and clarity in using AP Classroom as an instructional resource, making it easier to align their teaching with AP expectations and support student achievement. The second portion of this session will provide meaningful collaboration with colleagues, allowing staff to exchange ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and build a stronger AP teaching community within the school. This professional learning will ultimately help streamline planning, improve data-driven instruction, and enhance overall course effectiveness.
In this session we will examine the different ATLs and ATTs for IB and choose a focus ATL and ATT for the academic year. We will also discuss the components and framework of the theory of knowledge course and how learners embrace the different perspectives, scopes, methods, tools, and ethics. Finally, we will arrange the different IB assessments for the academic year to promote student success. The IB teacher team will collaborate on effective teaching and learning methods, integration of TOK concepts, and assessment practices for the year. Attendees will come away with ideas for implementing the Approaches to Learning and Approaches to Teaching in their units along with ideas for integrating the Theory of Knowledge concepts and framework into their lessons. Attendees will also come away with the IB assessment and scoring days planned and scheduled for the year. Staff will benefit from collaboration with their fellow IB teachers to implement IB pedagogy and theory of knowledge concepts, framework, and themes in their lessons. Staff will also benefit from assessment planning time by revising and editing their unit plans, by preparing our upcoming programming evaluation, and by serving the needs of students in the best way possible.
