College Board

AP readers evaluate and score the free-response sections of the AP Exams to ensure that students receive grades that accurately reflect college-level achievement. In June, more than 10,000 college faculty members and AP High School Teachers from around the world gather for the annual AP Reading.

You are invited to apply if you are an active college faculty member. This includes advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are responsible for teaching their own course comparable to the AP course. You can apply today by completing the online application.

• AP Reading is an energizing opportunity—an intensive collegial exchange with other educators where you can gain professional support and training.
• You ensure that students receive a fair assessment of their exams.
• The College Board provides an honorarium of $1,604 for this service and covers all travel expenses, lodging, and meals.

"To have the opportunity to sit at a table with seven or eight other readers--three or four excellent high school teachers and three or four excellent university faculty members--and to read, discuss, and evaluate student work together for a week--what a marvelous opportunity to learn about ways of promoting excellence in our profession. In my years as Chief Reader, I have been consistently impressed by the superb quality of folks who serve as readers. They're just top-notch."

- David A. Jolliffe, Professor of English, Brown Chair in English Literacy, University of Arkansas
