AP training this year was somewhat overwhelming. I registered for the one closest to me so I could sleep in my own bed, but it wasn't until August 6-9. This was way too late. I have so many ideas, but not much time to make those a reality for this year.
The AP Biology curriculum has changed for this year. Most of the labs are new, but seem like they can be broken into pieces that we will be able to complete in one class period. There is a lot of emphasis on open inquiry labs. Many topics have been cut out, which frees up time, to cover other topics for longer, but which topics? How much more time should I allow? I dreamed about AP Thursday night after four days of training. I started out Friday trying to make a timeline for the year, and ended up wanting to crawl in bed, get under the covers, and never come out. I have recovered. And I am attempting to play it by ear as much as possible, but that really doesn't work with me.
