AP® English Literature and Composition with J. Ryan Hoague of Altadena, California
Mr. Hoague has been serving as an exam reader for the College Board for 16 years and has been presenting at Advanced Placement® Summer Institutes since 2003. He cochairs the English department at Temple City High School where he has been an active leader and teacher for 23 years. He describes himself as a student-centered teacher and believes that experiencing success in an AP® course prepares students for the future that awaits them, focusing especially on the ability to write, think, and engage with others. Participants in this workshop will explore all the parts of AP® Literature and Composition as well as practice strategies that are useful in teaching any English course.
 
AP® English Literature and Composition—Tentative Syllabus
Our session is designed to engage all aspects of teaching AP® Literature and Composition from overall philosophy to pragmatic details.
