Description of Workshops, Classes, Institutes, Etc.:
The 2011 Summer A.P. Institute at the University of South Florida offerred a 5 day workshop on the teaching of A.P. Statistics methods to experienced A.P. teachers.

How I Hope to Apply What I Learned At Ransom, and/or, What My Colleagues Might Try at Ransom:
I learned the intricacies of how the A.P. Exams are actually graded. It was specifically meaningful to me since"statistics" is not a pure core math or science course. How questions are asked and are answered is open to much subjectivity. This workshop addressed this challenge. The workshop showed me not only how other teachers attempt to have their students solve problems (including innovative techniques) but also showed me, as a teacher, what the A.P. graders are expecting a student's answer to be and how to interpret variations of their responses..
