"Michael was incredible! Knowledgeable and very informative."

MICHAEL KIM
​I have worked my entire nineteen-year teaching career at Schurr High School in Montebello, California.  My current assignment consists of teaching Advanced Placement United States History, Economics, and Finance.  I have taught AP U.S. History for all nineteen years of my career.  I have been a reader for the U.S. History exam for sixteen years.  Since 2003, I have been a College Board workshop consultant in AP U.S. History and Pre-AP workshops.  
Over the past four years, I have been given the opportunity to train and mentor several of the new consultants in AP United States History.  I currently serve as a mentor for the online mentoring program.  My early experience and involvement with the redesign of the course has given me the opportunity to write a test bank for one of the textbook publishers and an online test question site.  I am also a co-writer of the summer workshop training materials.
​I believe that I have much to offer the participants at summer institutes.  In addition to providing a tremendous amount of resources and ideas, I take pleasure in instilling a sense of mission and enthusiasm in the participants who are and will be teaching AP U.S. History.  I am also proficient in utilizing technology in the classroom.  I am eager to share many useful strategies to the participants in the use of technology.  I look forward to working with all the participants during the week as well as being a continual resource in the future.
