The AP Reading begins today. More than 36,000 educators — AP teachers and college faculty from across the country and around the world — will score the free-response work of millions of students who took AP Exams in May. AP Readers will evaluate more than 25 million essays and free response questions.
Teachers who serve as AP Readers consistently describe it as among the most valuable professional learning experiences of their careers — and I believe them.
The AP Readings take place over the course of a month, with a different group of subjects scored each week. In the span of a week, Readers fine tune their judgement of student work in ways that enhance their classroom practice, gain insight into how students think and write across the country, and learn alongside colleagues who teach the same content in a hundred different ways.
To every Reader — whether this is your first AP Reading or your 20th — thank you. The students whose work lands on your table are fortunate to have someone who cares this much.
The work you do this week matters more than you know.

"Making Whole Book Instruction Work": an essential piece by the brilliant @CarolJago (past president of the National Council of Teachers of English and AP English Literature development committee member) on the importance of assigning full-length texts in literature courses.
"Simply browsing a text will not serve a reader well when the stakes of comprehension are high," she writes.
To reverse national declines in readership, assigning novels is critical: excerpts and short fiction simply have not been shown to engender the empathy and engagement that lead to a lifelong love of reading. Those first chapters can feel so difficult, with so many pages ahead, and then the breakthrough happens. I remember that experience myself with both Sense and Sensibility and The Mayor of Casterbridge when I took AP Lit – wondering how I would ever make it through the first chapter, and then gradually finding myself unable to put the book down.
So kudos to AP teachers in subjects ranging from AP Lit to AP Latin, who continue to oppose the technology of distraction, encouraging students to persist in the effort such reading in these classes requires.
