Reminder #8a: So let’s help reduce pressure by encouraging students to take fewer AP courses well, rather than more AP courses superficially. We’ve shared this research with college admissions offices nationwide: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Studying the Relationships Between the Number of APs, AP Performance, and College Outcomes

High school students enroll in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and take AP exams for a variety of reasons. However, a lack of information about the extent to which there are incremental benefits...

A benefit of changing from collecting daily HW to occasional "portfolios" is getting insight into Ss thinking. Q: How do you add matrices? A: ... if you were to lay the matrices on top of each other, you should add the ones that overlap. A new, unique,and beautiful visual!

I am a huge fan of the way @thestrokeofluck describes just-in-time scaffolding vs just-in-case scaffolding. It helped me realize why I made the wrong choices early in my career & gave me a way to describe what we should be doing instead: robertkaplinsky.com/just-in-…
