AP Meeting

Two big "takeaways" and a clarification....

First, the clarification....I've been replaying the meeting in my head and  one thing I remember is that we started talking a little bit about grading  and I was trying to quickly explain my philosophy when I said "I don't care about your grades."  I hope you all know that that didn't mean "I don't care about your grades."  I know that you care deeply about your grades and, of course, I care about what you care about. What I meant when I said that was that I care most about your mastery of the content.  And, of course, if you master the content, the grades will take care of themselves.  That's what I meant. I am sorry if for any moment today you might have thought that what is important to you is not important to me.  That is wholly untrue.

Takeaways.....

1.  Review, review, review.
2.  Let the blog and the maps be the tools that help narrow your focus for review.
