"How can I provide more opportunities for inventing, thinking, and struggling with underlying concepts? How can I help learners understand the goal & give them tools to navigate the path and track their own progress?" Some ?s and ideas from Katie Martin buff.ly/2NBFTqJ

Some great tips! Remember relationships are everything! #MSUM640

So proud of these 8 for stepping up! Leading and being willing to learn!

Practicing interview skills today AVID 11. We had fun helping each other answer all of the tough questions and give great examples of our skills. Mankato East AVID #AVID4College #preparing4reallife #MAPSReady #WeAreMEHS

The AP Program is developing resources to help schools support student learning during closures, as well as a solution that would allow students to take AP Exams at home, depending on the situation in May. We'll communicate the details by March 20. More: spr.ly/60141srPC.

The AMAZING staff at Mankato East wanted the students to know that even though school isn't in session, we are missing them, thinking of them and can't wait to see them again! Feel free to share! #WeAreMEHS #MAPSReady @Mankato_East Mankato Area Public Schools youtu.be/r4Seq8TbKc4

We know the coronavirus has created challenges for AP students. Here’s how the College Board will support you during this time: 1️⃣ We’re providing free, live and on-demand AP courses 2️⃣ We’re developing a new at-home testing option

To support AP students affected by school closures due to COVID-19, you will have access to live AP review lessons, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. Lessons will begin March 25. apstudents.collegeboard.org/coronavirus-up…

Because of the challenges created by COVID-19, we’re developing a new at-home AP Exam option. You will be able to test on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap/news-…

During this challenging time, we will work to give every AP student the opportunity to earn the college credit and placement they’ve been working toward all year while maintaining a focus on the health and safety of our AP community. More details here: apstudents.collegeboard.org/coronavirus-up….

The at-home AP Exams this year will not include any multiple-choice questions, only free-response questions adapted for secure testing at home. They will measure skills that can't be learned from Google or chats with friends. By April 3, we will post the specifics for each exam.

Daily optional lessons for most AP courses will begin tomorrow on YouTube. spr.ly/60191Qgmv. More coming soon. Lessons will be delivered by AP teachers from across the country and can be used alongside work your teachers are giving you. Teachers are welcome to join.

So proud of Fatuma! I’m so glad I have been able to learn from how caring and how hard working she is the past two years. Excited to see what the future brings!

AP Exam Tip: When asked to compare two distributions, be sure to compare shape, center, and variability in the context of problem. Don’t simply list. Use words like “greater than, less than, similar to”. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat #SOCV

AP Exam Tip: If you are using a calculator command to answer a free response question, be sure to label each input. Example: binomialpdf(n=20, p=0.80, X=14) #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

AP Exam Tip: Use -ly words to avoid making too bold of a statement. “The data are approximate-ly normal. The scatterplot is fair-ly linear. The residual plot shows a slight-ly curved pattern. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

AP Exam Tip: When explaining how a sample design leads to bias, be sure to explain how the sample responses might differ from the population responses AND how this might lead to an estimate that is higher or lower than the truth. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat
