Fostering Student Choice in the AP Classroom
Courtney Beresheim, Proviso Math & Science AcademyStaley 138
Students perform better when they care about the material they are studying—but teachers can't always guarantee every student responds the same to a high-interest text. In both AP Literature and AP Language, there are ways to allow for student choice in text selection that allow for both windows and mirrors. In this session, teachers will receive (and hopefully share!) text selections for both courses, as well as specific lesson templates and activities to allow for student choice as they work towards skill mastery. Non-AP teachers welcome!
