SETH REICHELSON
Seth Reichelson is a public-school teacher at Lake Brantley High School in Orlando, Florida. His workshops give teachers what they need to be successful and are designed to get students to pass the AP test. This workshop will include two to three live coded create tasks with full scored answers to the written report!
Seth has developed a national reputation for his outstanding ability to recruit and retain a diverse set of high school computer science students. He was a pilot teacher for five years, and has now taught AP Computer Science Principles for six years. Seth was the “White House Champion for Change” for computer science teaching, and has won numerous other teaching awards. He is the author of the Barron’s AP Computer Science Principles Review book despite his inability to spell numerous! As an experienced AP College Board Summer Institute facilitator he will show you what you need to help your students succeed in the class while trying to make the workshop as entertaining as possible. Not a minute will be wasted.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
During this training you will explore the computational thinking practices and the components of the curriculum framework, including the big ideas, enduring understandings, learning objectives, and essential knowledge statements. Seth, your instructor, will provide several hundred original questions in the form of Kahoots, google slides, Nearpods, and PowerPoints which can be implemented in the classroom. All of these questions align to College Board essential knowledge. Two FULL create tasks will be coded and all written questions answered LIVE during the workshop.
Learning Outcomes:
After attending this workshop, you will be able to:
The workshop will have flexibility based on teacher needs.
Day One:
Introductions / what do you want to get out of this workshop.
General requirements for the performance task and the multiple-choice section of the AP test.
Big Idea Three: Algorithms and Programming
∙ What is covered and how is it covered.
∙ Original material that can be taught to both at home and in person students shared and content reviewed.
∙ AP Classroom material Start live coding for Create Performance task (graphical) based on ideas generated by the workshop teachers.
∙ Create a list.
∙ Fill up list.
∙ Use the list.
Breakdown requirements for creating a written report. Breakout in teams for written report.
Day Two:
Share results of written creation.
What makes a high scoring Create project and what makes a low scoring Create project.
Live code a complete full scoring (A different one from day 1) Create Performance task (Graphical or Text based or Both) based on ideas generated by the workshop teachers.
∙ Create a list.
∙ Fill up list.
∙ Use the list.
∙ Procedure that has input, parameters, output, selection, iteration, and sequence.
Share Original notes to give students on how to complete the Create task with at least 6 full credit examples.
Big Idea 1: Creative Development
Big Idea 2: Data
∙ What is covered and how is it covered.
