Pre-AP ELA 2 and ELA 10 AP Seminar are new DoDEA courses that will replace Honors ELA 9 and Honors ELA 10. This course is designed to help teachers transition from the honors courses to the requirements needed to implement the new AP offerings. Teachers will utilize current curricular resources (HMH, Model Units, Honors 9/10 Guidance, Novels) and the College Board Course Guide to create instructional resources, lessons, assessments, and more for use in the implementation of the courses.
In alignment with our RAP goal of "intentional planning to deliver daily explicit instruction for writing across the curriculum," this course will provide teachers with opportunities to co-plan lessons, activities, and assessments; teach lessons as developed and planned; reflect on the effectiveness of lessons, activities, and assessments; analyze assessment outcomes for student success; provide feedback; adjust instruction to meet the needs of current students; and fine-tune lessons for the next school year.
Additionally, teachers will have the opportunity to participate in a Community of Practice once a month, as well as receive instructional coaching as needed.
Number of Units: 3.0 graduate level extension credit(s) in semester hours
