AP Summer Institute 2024
The University of Texas at Arlington
During this AP Pre-Calculus APSI, you’ll explore the course framework, the exam, and the new AP resources that will help you plan and focus instruction—and give you feedback throughout the year on the areas where individual students need additional focus. You’ll also learn about completing the digital activation process at the start of the school year that will give you immediate access to the new resources and will help ensure that your students can register for AP Exams by the new fall deadlines. By attending this APSI, you’ll gain deeper insight into the following key takeaways, among several others: Understand the Course; Plan the Course; Teach the Course; Assess Student Progress; and Engage as a Member of the AP Community. In addition, specific attention will be paid to the following AP Classroom resources: unit guides, personal progress checks, AP teacher community, and the AP question bank.

I am currently in my 20th year of teaching high school mathematics in Texas, currently serving as the math department head at Sweeny High School in Sweeny, Texas. I have been involved with the AP Program for over 10 years having taught 5 different AP subjects in both math and science. I have served as an AP Reader and AP Table Leader. I am currently a CollegeBoard consultant for the new AP Precalculus and I am excited about being involved in the launch of this new opportunity for our students. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, Irvine, my M.Ed. from the University of North Texas, and have a graduate certificate in Mathematics from Texas Tech University. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and going to the beach.
