I am a social studies teacher and Department Chair at Bishop Lynch High School, a college preparatory school in Dallas, Texas. As a twenty-five-year teaching veteran, the experience I have gained teaching AP World History since 2006 has allowed me to understand the growth and change in the course over the last few years. Also, my annual position of helping to supervise the grading of the exams in the role of Assistant to the Chief Reader gave me a unique understanding of the skills and expectations of this course. I have also gained experience through my roles in item writing for the AP Exam and participating in the exam standard setting. Additionally, I am a member of the pilot team of teachers working to create a curriculum for pilot-based learning for the AP World History: Modern course.
