  2. History of AP at Pinelands • The Advanced Placement Program began in the school year 1990-1991. • At that time, there was only one class running, and it took 15 years to build up the program to include 10 AP classes. • Only the top students were selected to take the AP classes, and very few took the exam and passed it at the end of the year. • We have slowly opened up the accessibility to the AP classes so that any student interested in taking this type of class can be admitted into the program. • We have also encouraged all students to take the exams.

  17. Next steps… • After receiving the AP Examination Scores in July, we will reassess the program, as well as the individual class’ success. • I will be meeting with Volunteer AP teachers to have an informal Brainstorming Brunch where we will Celebrate our Success and Plan for the upcoming year. • After this meeting I will bring any building level concerns, such as the change in schedule, to the Principal. • I will also meet with the Superintendent to request policy changes if needed.

  18. A SHARED VISION… I believe that all students in the general population can succeed in an Advanced Placement class in High School with the proper tools: • A passionate teacher who is willing to go above and beyond the normal duties of a classroom. One who is an expert in his/her content area, but also has a passion for instilling the love of learning on their students. • The resources needed to give students the proper tools (texts, technology, facilities) in order to learn their topic • Support from the stakeholders ~the Board, Community, Parents, and the entire Staff

  23. FINAL THOUGHTS Being the Pinelands Regional AP Coordinator has been one of the most rewarding professional experiences I have had thus far. From the moment I recruit these students into the program, until graduation day, they are my students. They know that they can come to me with ideas and concerns and I will listen and try to find a solution. Building a relationship with these students has made me a better supervisor, and has help me to focus all of my energies in the direction of producing life-long learners.
