AP® Government US & Politics
July 23 - 26, 2012
James Madison High School, San Antonio, TX

The U.S. Government and Politics Institute is designed to help teachers organize an AP® course in U.S. Government and Politics, select appropriate materials, determine course content and depth of mastery, provide techniques and strategies for teaching the course, and provide a better understanding of the AP® exam (what to expect and how the free-response answers are graded). We will: examine broad content areas for units of study and suggest methods of organizing course content; examine a bibliography of materials that can be used and how to incorporate these materials effectively; demonstrate writing strategies to prepare students to write the free-response essay; and demonstrate strategies to use in the classroom. The instructor will model an AP® Reading with sample essays from the 2009 and 2010 AP® tests, explore ways to save time, discuss motivation, and help participants determine individual action plans.
