Eighteen years of experienced AP Psychology teaching has taught me much of what to convey to beginning teachers of AP Psychology. I have taught this course both as a traditional yearlong course as well as a semester block. As a College Board consultant for 11 years, I have been privileged to have conducted numerous one-day workshops as well as several one-week institutes throughout the southeast. With M.Ed. and Ed. S. degrees from Georgia State University, I have served as a Reader since 1997.
