AP ART HISTORY
Summer 2021
We will explore current changes in the curriculum framework, exam structure, and course content. We will share best practices and ways to create a high interest learning environment. We will extend our knowledge of remote learning strategies. In addition, we will address the challenges of teaching global content and the four major components of a work of art: Form, Content, Context, & Function. Our work together will culminate in a producing a remote lesson format such as Playposit Bulbs.
To meet the goals of the APSI, we will use Zoom online for our synchronous meetings, which will comprise approximately 50% of our week. Our online day will commence each morning with a synchronous meeting. Attending these synchronous sessions is important since 1) participants will be able to collaborate together as they work with the course curriculum and skills in order to plan their courses, and 2) I will be available to answer real-time questions. The remaining 50% of the time will consist of asynchronous learning experiences that involve participant activities, projects, and interactions using, Google Drive, and Zoom.
The daily time model follows although we may need to alter it at times. There is a requirement of 30 workshop hours but your asynchronous time can be flexed to your convenience.
