Gerald Hurd – Bio<\/h1>\n

\"Gerald-Hurd-Small-2\"I have been a classroom teacher for 42 yrs. I have taught Geography, Economics, African History, U.S. History, and 20th<\/sup> Century Global Affairs I presently teach in the Central Kitsap School District in Silverdale, Washington at Olympic High School. I teach AP Psychology, World History, and AP European History. For the past 18 yrs. I have been a reader for the AP European History College Board Exam. 13 of those years I have been a Table Leader and in the past I have been a selector, a group that meets before the reading begins to help set the standards for the grading of the DBQ and Free-Response essays at the reading. I was voted most outstanding Table Leader in 2002 at the AP Reading. I have done workshops\/institutes in Salt Lake City, Utah, Denver, Colorado, Phoenix Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, Fresno, California, San Gabriel, California and Bellevue, Washington. I have had the opportunity to review and contribute to the \u201cPreparing for the AP European History Exam\u201d by Kaplan Publishing, and Barons AP Exam Review Book and outline notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
