This page collects resources for a professional development workshop given in June of 2013 for the TEALS program.

I used question 2 from the 2013 Free Response section of the AP Exam to illustrate several topics. I used this handout which included the grading criteria and a canonical solution.

Another topic of discussion was the following resource page:

Building Java Programs overview with links to resources

• Course page for Winter 2012 offering of the University of Washington CS1 course, CSE142 (see especially the calendar, homework, and labs pages)
• Enrollment statistics for UW intro classes: overall enrollment, percent female.
• College Board-approved syllabus (syllabus 703404v2)
• UW intro exams
(requires id/password)
• Building Java Programs page
• PracticeIt! (site for interactive practice problems)
• jGRASP development environment
• Building Java Programs APCS pacing guide developed by Hélène Martin (included in syllabus above but this version has links to some quizzes and worksheets as Google Docs; contact Hélène for access)
• CSE142 style guide
• old CSE142 exam questions

The table below has links to resources from the CSE142 course at the University of Washington. Some of these resources are not publicly available. If you need the id and password, contact Stuart.

An APCS course using this approach will generally stick pretty closely to the UW course through chapter 5 (first semester), then deviate. See below this table for more project ideas.
