My Students

My students attend an advanced studies academy. The academic expectations are rigorous, and my students rise to those expectations, both at the middle school and high school level. My students are inquisitive, excited to learn, and full of general enthusiasm.

My students are always willing to share personal stories to help bring the curriculum to life.

I am lucky to teach a somewhat diverse group of students. We get to apply real-world experience and knowledge to our social studies lessons at both the middle school and high school level. It is always interesting to have students explain personal experiences when we discuss ancient civilizations, European history, and the advent of major world religions.

My Project

My students pride themselves on their grades. Our current AP European history textbook is bulky, arranged in a manner that doesn't fully follow the Collegeboard format, and does not provide sample questions. The Amsco prep books provide background information and sample questions. This will give my AP students a chance to read the content in a condensed version, both respecting the need to cover the information and respect the students' time.

The students will be able to use the smaller than traditional textbooks to pull information for research projects and to add information to in class assignments.

This will be especially helpful for completing the unit review guides. The Amsco books are smaller and less bulky than the traditional textbook. It would be much easier for the students to bring the Amsco books to school for every class. We will be able to use the sample questions to practice multiple choice questions and to practice writing essays, helping to set up my students for success on the AP exam.
