LUKE GLASSETT
Hello, My name is Luke Glassett and I am excited to be your AP World APSI Instructor! I love teaching AP World History and I love teaching others how to teach it!
I have taught high school history for over 20 years in the state of Washington, currently at Skyview High School in Vancouver, WA. I have a B.S. in Social Sciences and a Masters in Education from Washington State University Vancouver. I have maintained my National Board Certification since 2010. Apart from teaching history, I have also coached soccer and been a FIRST Robotics head coach since 2012 for Skyview Robotics.
Over the past Sixteen years, I have participated in the AP World Reading as a Reader, Table Leader, sample selector (Early Table Leader), and Question Leader, having been part of the sample selection process for both the DBQ and the LEQ. I have also served on the Standard Setting Committee for AP World, AP US, and AP Euro.
I am passionate about alignment, essays, and helping students reach their maximum potential by connecting their lives to the content taught in the classroom. I look forward to helping you do the same!
COURSE GOALS
The purpose of this course is to prepare you to teach AP World History. I take a practical approach to the training to ensure teachers have the structure needed to succeed and prepare students for the AP Exam. I will also adjust the course to the needs of the class. By the end of the week, we will have completed the following:
