It's the end of the school year and the administration is working diligently to get the schedule ready for next year. You are hoping to have the same preps again next year as you just got all your Geometry and Algebra 2 lessons dialed in (maybe using Math Medic). And then you get your teaching schedule for next year:
AP Statistics
What??? You try to remember back to the one statistics class you took in college and the anxiety starts to overwhelm you. You don't feel confident about knowing the content, let alone about best practices for teaching the content.
Take a breath...we got you covered!
We have been through a similar scenario, and ultimately this is the reason we started Stats Medic. We wanted to create a place where AP Stats teachers had all the resources and support they need for their journey into teaching this amazing course. So here is what we have to help you get started:
The lessons in our 150 Days of AP Stats cover everything in the College Board CED and can be used with all the major textbooks. Every lesson has:
A printable classroom activity for students
A teacher answer key with important talking points
A blog post with teaching tips based on our many years of using these lessons
Pacing Guides
The schedule for each unit is given, so you know exactly how long to spend on each topic. These pacing guides are based on exactly what we do with our own students at East Kentwood High School. Also, here are some tips if you will be teaching on a block schedule.
Support for You As a New Teacher
(1) We highly suggest you take one of our AP Statistics online (APSO) workshops in preparation for teaching AP Stats. In this workshop, you will increase your confidence with the content of AP Stats, but also learn about how to best prepare students for success on the AP Exam.
(2) During the school year, we send an email every Sunday with links to resources, teaching strategies, and new blog posts. Stay in the loop with everything that is AP Statistics.
