Tak Ready, US Government teacher at Traverse City West Senior High School, was selected to participate in the annual Reading and scoring of the College Board’s AP Examinations held in June 2008 for AP United States Government and Politics.
Each year the Advance Placement (AP) Program, sponsored by the College Board, gives more that one million capable high school students an opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses and examinations and, based on their exam performance, to receive credit and/or advanced placement when they enter college.
Approximately 2.8 million examinations in 22 disciplines were evaluated by over 10,000 Readers from universities and high schools. Representing many of the finest academic institutions in the world, those selected as readers are some of the best high school and college educators in the United States, Canada, and abroad.
The AP Reading is a unique forum in which academic dialogue between secondary school and college educators is fostered and strongly encouraged. “The Reading draws upon the talents of the finest teachers and professors that the world has to offer,” said Trevor Packer, Executive Director of the Advanced Placement program at the College Board. “It fosters professionalism, allows for the exchange of ideas, and strengthens the commitment to students and to teaching. We are very grateful for the contributions of talented educators like Tak Ready.”
