This engaging panel discussion, comprised of high school AP history teachers and college/university history professors from across the country, will explore the practices, and historical thinking and reasoning skills (literacies) that are taught and assessed in AP History courses (European, U.S., World-Modern), and evaluate the impact those practices have in preparing students for the rigors of entry-level college course work.

The panel will also unpack AP History Exam modalities by which students are assessed, discuss how the exam is constructed, and detail how exams are scored at the annual AP Exam Reading. Panelists will share their experiences as educators, item-writers, serving on the Test Development Committee, and participating as leaders at the AP Exam Reading.
