APTeach is thrilled to announce a partnership with ChemEd X!
APTeach originated as a way to build collaboration of AP chemistry teachers through a US Department of Education Grant. Initially, the group developed resources such as instructional videos aimed at tackling the most common misconceptions in chemistry and offering strategies for teaching complex concepts. When the COVID pandemic required teachers to adapt to teaching students virtually, APTeach transitioned to virtual meetings to discuss how to best address teaching students in a virtual setting and prepare for the 2020 test.
Since 2020, APTeach has continued to provide virtual professional development developed by AP chemistry teachers for AP chemistry teachers. Each one hour session provides 15-20 minutes of a discussion centered around a challenging chemistry topic before moving into breakout rooms that allow small groups of teachers to share their best teaching practices related to that content.
APTeach has become an important resource for many AP Chemistry teachers. It has provided a safe space for collaboration and support for both new and experienced teachers.
