I wanna be better in all things. It's easy for teachers to get stuck
and comfortable in patterns and activities that are completely
legitimate but perhaps have become stale and even ineffective.
Throughout the semester I've asked that you work hard to prepare for
the AP Language and Composition test. I taught to the test. I'm sorta
fine with that. As I've said, I believe that the skills the test
assesses are important and some of the most important skills you will
develop in your lifetime - the ability to think, process, synthesize,
and argue.
To that end I've tried to develop every
assignment to focus on one element of the test and hone those skills
required for success. Now that you've taken the test - multiple tests
(ACT, PSAT, AP) what suggestions do you have?
I'm not
asking for what you "liked" or what was "fun" but rather what was
effective. I know not everything connected with everyone and with 97
students I will get a plethora of responses. Though I am asking for
honesty I'm not asking for a tongue-lashing nor do I expect "all
sunshines and rainbows." I know I'm flawed but I also know that I am
effective. I want to minimize my flaws and increase my effectiveness.
I need your help to do that.
