Hi - I’m Sharon. I’ll be teaching 2 sections of AP CSP to 10th-12th graders. I’ve taught programming before, but this is my first time teaching an AP course. I also teach an Intro to Engineering course and coach robotics.

This is how I approach it. First, promotion is a year long process. If you are doing it a week before, you are doing it wrong. Next, look how your class is framed toward the people who signs the kids up, I have pitched AP CSP as “Your first AP class” in High School, which has been working well. I talk with the 8th grade algebra / stem / science classes right before registration and get a good mix of students just from that. During the year I am constantly talking to kids about CS. If I missed them as a freshman, I reframe my pitch this class as an easy way to get out of an elective in college. Most schools have a CS elective component now, so you don’t have to be a CS major anymore, save yourself some money and come listen to my bad jokes! I do the posters and stuff, but on my evals under why did you take this class it is usually in this order: Try an AP for GPA, CS Major, talked with me, friend/sibling in class, heard class was fun. For women recruitment, I highly recommend a Girls Who Code club, it is free and nominate them for a NCWIT.

Hi Everyone, my name is Ramy, I’ve been teaching from 3-12 for the past decade. I’ve also been teaching CSP since 2018 and CSA since last year. I am excited to learn with my students. Their creativity and persistence always has me on my toes. I’d say I have learned more from my students than I have throughout my formal education.
Looking forward to interacting with all of you!
