  • Ap Studio Art Summer Work 2021
    AP STUDIO ART SUMMER WORK 2021 MRS. BRITTANY BRYDGES-NEELY DIRECTIONS: READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT. Carefully read the project criteria below and email me images of your work by the assigned due dates. Points will be deducted for late work and can seriously jeopardize your MP1 grade, there are no rolling deadlines with summer work and no extensions will be granted. If you do not understand these directions you must contact me via email; not understanding is not a valid excuse to miss deadlines, you have to communicate and ask for clarification. This project is worth 100 pts total and will set you up for success for the rest of the class and for the AP Studio Art Exam. AP Studio Art is a college-level Art course which grants much in the way of artistic expression and autonomy but demands college-level work ethic, this will be a learning experience; I expect your best work, effort and punctuality with the assigned due dates. To put this in perspective: you will only have 9 grades for the entire course, make the summer work count. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Any 2-dimensional media (material) and any artistic style is fair game in AP Art; however, you cannot copy imagery, artwork or photos that belong to someone else (That’s illegal. It’s fine for practice, but not ok here). This means no copyrighted imagery or cartoon characters, no Pinterest or Tiktok inspired projects and no direct copying of images you found on Google. Reference images are ok to use, but you have to tweak them using YOUR OWN CREATIVITY, in other words: find several references or photos and combine them in an interesting way.

  • AP Studio Art – Drawing Course Syllabus
    AP Studio Art – Drawing Course Syllabus Course Description This AP Studio Art course is designed for students who have completed he following courses; Studio Art Foundation, Drawing & Painting, Portfolio and/or have demonstrated a strong interest in the experience of art making. AP Studio Art is based on building a body of art work made up of 27 to 29 pieces of art work that is submitted to the AP College Board in the beginning of May. This portfolio is the exam. The portfolio is made up of three sections; Quality, Concentration, and Breadth. In the Quality section, students select 5 pieces of art work that successfully demonstrate mastery of design principles as applied to a two-dimensional surface. There is no preferred style or content. Medium is irrelevant. Your mastery of design should be apparent in the composition, concept, and technique of the work whether they are simple or complex. Works may be no larger than 18”X 24” including matting or mounting. Works smaller than 8”X 10” should be mounted on sheets that are at least 8”X 10”. The 5 pieces chosen for this section can be works from the Breadth and/or Concentration. In the Breadth section, students submit 12 pieces that show a variety of works demonstrating the students understanding of the Elements of Art. Include examples of line, shape, value, form, texture, space, and color in your Breadth. In the Concentration section, students submit 12 pieces of art work that demonstrates through investigation of a specific visual concept that is formulated by the student.

  • AP Course Descriptions AP Biology AP Biology Is an Introductory
    AP Course Descriptions AP Biology AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes – energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions. Laboratory Requirement: This course requires that 25 percent of the instructional time will be spent in hands-on laboratory work, with an emphasis on inquiry-based investigations that provide students with opportunities to apply the science practices. Prerequisites: Students should have successfully completed high school courses in biology and chemistry. More information can be found on the AP Biology Course Overview Website. AP Calculus AB AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Students will learn how to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and how to make connections amongst these representations. Students will also learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. Recommended Prerequisites: All students should complete the equivalent of four years of secondary mathematics designed for college-bound students: courses which should prepare them with a strong foundation in reasoning with algebraic symbols and working with algebraic structures. Prospective calculus students should take courses in which they study algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions. More information can be found on the AP Calculus AB Course Overview website.

  • Guidance on Computer Science State Course Codes
    GUIDANCE ON TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE IN WASHINGTON STATE K–12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS Authorizing legislation: HB 1577, SHB 5088 2020 COMPUTER SCIENCE STATE COURSE CODE GUIDANCE During the 2019–20 Legislative session, SHB 1577 concerning K–12 computer science education data was passed into law. Beginning June 30, 2020, and by June 30 annually after that, school districts must submit to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and the OSPI must post conspicuously on its website, a report for the preceding academic year that must include the following data: • Total number of computer science courses offered in each school and whether these courses are advanced placement classes. • Number and percentage of students who enrolled in a computer science program. • Disaggregated by gender, race and ethnicity, special education status, English learner status, eligibility for the free and reduced-price lunch program, and grade level. • Number of computer science instructors at each school, disaggregated by certification, if applicable, gender, and highest academic degree. Data collection will be done through the Comprehensive Education Data and Research System (CEDARS), a longitudinal data system managed by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to collect, store, and report data related to students, courses, and teachers. The data collected is either mandated by state or federal law or approved by the Data Governance Group at the OSPI. CEDARS contains a course catalog of all courses in each grade offered at each public school. Student- related information in CEDARS includes each student’s gender, grade level, demographics, eligibility for specific education programs, and a record of all courses attempted by the student.
