2017 AP BIOLOGY SUMMER INSTITUTE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Whether a teacher is a new AP Biology teacher or someone who has taught the course for years, there will be something for everyone at this Advanced Placement Summer Institute. The AP Biology Curriculum Framework has been the \u201cnew\u201d standard for several years and has already undergone one revision. Participants will learn how to navigate the AP Central website, including the course audit portal.<\/p>\n We will review the Framework and use the Science Practices. We will discuss the AP Biology labs in the Lab Manual and learn how to prepare and conduct at least two of the labs for each of the four Big Ideas.<\/p>\n In addition, participants will learn how to use existing resources most effectively to implement the curriculum framework and labs into their course on a variety of budgets. Alternative and supplemental lab activities will be shared. Various CER (Claims, Evidence, Reasoning) and Argument-Driven Inquiry activities and resources will be featured each day.<\/p>\n Throughout the week, participants will have the opportunity to share ideas and work together on preparing for the course audit. Discussions of the 2017 exam results and best teaching practices to help students succeed will be included each day, including participation in mini \u201cmock readings\u201d of sample Free Response Questions. We will also review pacing guides, sample syllabi, and textbooks.<\/p>\n Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop, an inquiry-based laboratory or classroom activity\/resource to share (electronic or hard copy \u2013 it does not have to be AP-level), a copy of an AP Instructional Planning Report (APIPR) from a previous school year (if you have one), and a willingness to exchange effective teaching practices and activities with your peers.<\/p>\n TENTATIVE SCHEDULE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0This is our tentative schedule for the week. We can always change it or move things around to best suit your needs. We will NOT be doing all the labs in the lab manual, but we will review and critique as many as possible.<\/p>\n DAY 1: BIG IDEA 1 \u00a0– EVOLUTION LABS:<\/strong> (laptop needed for 2 & 3) (* = discuss and\/or do) Power Words<\/strong> PM –\u00a0<\/b>Set up or Prep for: Alternative Labs for Big Idea 1<\/p>\n Using Models and Representations:<\/strong> Resources for teaching evolution:<\/strong> Classroom Activities to Share – Quantitative Skill Modules LABS:<\/strong> (* = discuss and\/or do) Using Probes to Uncover Student Misunderstandings<\/p>\n 2016 Exam debrief part 2: FRQ #2<\/p>\n PM LABS:<\/strong> Using Models and Representations:<\/strong> Alternative Labs for Big Idea 2<\/p>\n Classroom Activities to Share<\/p>\n Reflections<\/p>\n DAY 3: BIG IDEA 3 GENETICS AND INFORMATION TRANSFER<\/strong> Classroom Activities to Share<\/p>\n 2017 Exam debrief part 3: FRQ #3, #4, and #5<\/strong><\/p>\n LABS:<\/strong> (* = discuss and\/or do) PM<\/strong> – Using Models and Representations: LABS:<\/strong> (* = discuss and\/or do) 2017 Exam debrief part 4: FRQ #6, #7, and #8<\/strong><\/p>\n 2017 AP Exam Results – (Importance of the Science Practices)<\/strong> Scientific Argumentation in AP Biology<\/strong><\/p>\n Reflections<\/p>\n DAY 4: BIG IDEA 4 INTERACTIONS<\/strong> LABS:<\/strong> (* = discuss and\/or do) PM<\/strong> -LABS: Using Models and Representations: Wrap Up Unfinished Business from Earlier in the Week<\/p>\n Review & Summary<\/p>\n Evaluations – CB consultant number: 0204<\/p>\n Door Prizes<\/p>\n Final Reflections \u2013 THANK YOU! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cheryl Ann Hollinger has been a College Board consultant since 1997, leading regional, national, and international AP workshops on four continents. She has led AP Biology Summer Institutes for over a decade. Cheryl has served as an AP consultant trainer and as a mentor for six new consultants. She is an experienced AP Exam Reader, PRAXIS Exam item writer, and member of the Subject Matter Expert team for AP Biology Insight, and is currently an AP Insight consultant. In addition, Cheryl served on the College Board Science Academic Advisory Committee. She is also a NMSI consultant, an HHMI Ambassador, and a member of the NABT\/BSCS\/HHMI Region IX AP Biology Teacher Academy leadership team. In addition, Cheryl gives presentations at state, regional, and national science conferences.<\/p>\n Cheryl taught high school biology in Pennsylvania for 26 years, teaching AP Biology and Human Anatomy & Physiology for almost 20 years. In addition, she taught biology at York College of Pennsylvania for 7 years. She is a member of professional organizations including NSTA and NABT. Cheryl is a peer reviewer for The American Biology Teacher<\/em> and The Science Teacher <\/em>journals. She leads workshops at local, state, and national science conferences. Currently, Cheryl is a Science Education Field Supervisor at Marylhurst University and Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n Cheryl has been recognized for teaching excellence several times during her career, winning the Outstanding Biology Teacher Award (OBTA) from NABT and the Siemens Award for Excellence in Advanced Placement Science Teaching. Most recently she was honored to be the first recipient of the Kim Foglia AP Biology Service Award for her dedication to teaching excellence and willingness to help her colleagues, especially new teachers. Cheryl loves teaching and mentoring teachers. Traveling, reading, hiking, and camping are some of her favorite things to do in her spare time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Biology
