MICHAEL BOARDMAN
Michael Boardman is a Professor of Mathematics, and chair elect of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Pacific University in Oregon.
Boardman’s involvement in AP Calculus began in 1994 when he participated in his first AP Calculus Reading. Over the years at the Reading, Boardman was a Reader, Table Leader, Question Leader and Exam Leader, and rose to the position of Chief Reader for the years 2008 through 2011. He served five years on the AP Calculus Development Committee and an additional 4 years with ETS’s AP Calculus Workgroup. Boardman founded the AP Calculus Electronic Discussion group and served as moderator for a decade. Boardman continues to work with ETS in various capacities related to the AP Calculus program, including work related to exam development and participating in the AP Readings. He also appears as an AP Daily Higher Education Guest Lecturer, presenting on Newton’s Method.
Boardman is coauthor of two calculus books: Calculus, Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic Sixth Edition by Demana, Waits, Kennedy, Bressoud and Boardman, and College Calculus, a second term calculus book for college students who successfully completed AP Calculus AB in high school. Boardman has been conducting workshops and APSIs across the country since 2012.
Outside of AP Calculus, Boardman has been active in the Mathematical Association of America, where he was chair of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics, the group that publishes recommendations to collegiate mathematics departments on the structure and content of their programs.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
AP CALCULUS AB
In this course, we will work to deepen your understanding of the topics covered in AP Calculus and help you find resources to improve your courses. We will spend time discussing successes and challenges in your AP classroom, engaging with other AP teachers and making important connections. An added bonus of this particular course is the focus on understanding and experiencing the construction of AP Calculus exams and scoring rubrics, and on understanding the process of scoring the AP Calculus exams.
Of course, we will be doing this work in the context of the AP Calculus curriculum as laid out in the Course and Exam Description (CED). While thoroughly examining most topics included in the curriculum, we will discuss common student misconceptions and errors and ways to help them overcome these.
