William B. "Bill" Bond--AP Chemistry Presenter
For over 32 years, Bill was a teacher at Snohomish High School in Washington State where he taught Advanced Placement Chemistry and served as Science Department Chair. Bill received both his Bachelor and Master’s Degree in Science and Science Education from the University of Washington. He has written questions for the AP Chemistry exam as a member of the Test Development Committee, been a Table Leader and Reader (grader) of the AP Chemistry Exam and was the principal author of “A Teacher’s Guide to Advanced Placement Chemistry”—published by the College Board. Bill has won the Siemens Advanced Placement Award, was a Dreyfus Fellow with the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and has had his Chemistry research published in “Analytical Chemistry”. He has been a member of the Academic Council for the Western Region of the College Board and has served on the Development Committee for Advanced Placement Science Vertical Teams. Bill was selected as a National Leader in AP Chemistry for the College Board--responsible for the training and evaluation of new AP Chemistry presenters. In addition, he presents AP Chemistry at numerous Workshops and Institutes—both nationally and internationally. Most recently, Bill has been trained in the new AP Chemistry “Redesign” (2013) and “Reorganized” (2019) Curriculum and has written the chapter introductions for the new Chang AP Chemistry text. Currently, he is on the faculty of Bellevue College, Bellevue, Washington where he teaches General Chemistry to math and science majors.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Chemistry participants can expect an extensive look at the course outlined in the AP Chemistry Curriculum Framework. We will look at teaching ideas for each of the Six Big Ideas. In addition, we will prepare for the emphasis on inquiry learning that pervades not only the new curriculum framework, but the laboratory portion of the new course. Participants can expect exposure to resources such as POGIL, the Science Writing Heuristic, and the Learning Cycle. Sample questions representative of the new exam style will be studied as well.
Participants will perform ten laboratory exercises with various levels of inquiry. Several of these will be taken from the AP Chemistry Inquiry Based Laboratory Lab Manual.
Please Note: Closed-toed shoes are required in chemistry labs even on the first day. No exceptions.
CLASS PREPARATION: Please bring a calculator, goggles, and a lab apron or lab coat. You will be provided with web-based access to a variety of preparatory materials for the AP Chemistry course.
