Hart County HS Teacher Selected as AP Exam Reader

Hart County High School teacher Mike Edwards has been selected to serve as a College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Exam Reader.

Each June, AP teachers and college faculty members from around the world gather in the United States to evaluate and score the free-response sections of AP Exams.
AP Exam Readers are led by a Chief Reader, a college professor who has the responsibility of ensuring that students receive scores that accurately reflect college-level achievement.
In addition to scoring the exams, being an AP Reader gives teachers a chance to exchange ideas with faculty, teacher, and AP Development Committee members; establish friendship within a worldwide network of faculty members; and become familiar with AP scoring standards, which provide valuable knowledge for scoring their own students’ essays.
Edwards teaches World History, Honors World History, AP World History, and is in an advisor for ninth graders at Hart County High School.

He taught at Hart County Middle School from 2003 until moving to the high school in 2008.

Edwards will join other World History AP Readers in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 3-9, 2016 to score the exams.
