About Me

My name is Yvonne Doyle.  I've been teaching Honors & AP Chemistry for the past twenty years. I graduated from Franklin & Marshall College with a B.A. in Chemistry.  I went on to get a Master's in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh.

The 2015-2016 school year was the first year that I taught AP Seminar and it was hard.  The course is so new that there were almost no resources available for me to make use of in my classes.  I felt like I was surviving on a day-to-day basis instead of having a clear plan for the whole year.  I was designing my own activities and lessons.  In addition, my students would come up with questions during the school year and I would realize that I didn't have an answer for them.  As much as I enjoyed this course, I was exhausted by the time summer arrived.

I put together this blog to share my resources with other AP Seminar teachers.  I've successfully completed the College Board training in grading Performance Tasks.  I also serve as an AP Reader for the End of Course Exam in AP Seminar.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I'll respond as soon as possible.

My hope is that we can build a community of AP Seminar teachers to share our resources for this course.
