Hey There! I’m Ashley Weaver.
Whether you are a first year AP Gov teacher or a veteran teacher looking to spruce up your materials to align to the 2018 redesign, you will find my AP Government materials super helpful.
I’ve kept you in mind as I designed all of my materials. Here are some things I’ve done my best to incorporate in these APGOPO resources.
Editable PowerPoints with animation included
Teacher lecture notes with conversation starters, enrichment activities and links to tons of relevant resources
Editable Unit exams that align with the AP National Exam Format including multiple choice and free response questions with rubrics.
Planning materials including pacing guides for each unit as well as semester or full-year plans
I believe that AP Gov can be the most engaging class in school if teachers are able to make the content come alive through relevant and varied lesson plans as well as show their passion for the subject matter. By not taking the time to “reinvent the wheel” you have more time and energy to engage your students and prepare them for success on the AP U.S. Government & Politics National Exam.
“VERY well organized and easy to follow. Great tools to use for structure and slides are great. I really like the teacher notes that are included. Would definitely recommend!”
“This is the perfect resource for both new and experienced AP Gov. teachers. The units are highly organized and thoroughly researched. The pacing guides are also excellent and will fit into most school schedules.”
“So I have been waiting a year to write this review till I received my students scores on the AP exam. Backstory: I am a first year teacher who retired from finance to teach. It has been the best blessing of my life, but I feared I was woefully unprepared. I was. Mrs. Weaver helped there immensely. This course was exceptional in its organization, and all questions I had for Mrs. Weaver were answered quickly, usually the evening of the same day. She was an invaluable resource. The organization of the course is well done, and the students seemed to enjoy it and stay engaged. The scores that resulted from my very average kids were exceptional, two 5’s, and all the rest received 4’s. And I know NOT ONE of them did the reading. I am grateful I purchased it and will be checking back for the free updates every year for sure. 10/10. I cant argue with results and this program performed for me.
TLDR: Awesome course. Worth the cash. Resulted in good scores for my kids on the AP exam.”
“I am a first year A.P. Government & Politics teacher and I really appreciate comprehensive help like this Unit 1 package that aligns to the redesign. Thank you so much for all the work you do. ”
“This is the 3rd unit I am purchasing and I am extremely satisfied with all of my purchases so far. As a first year AP Government teacher these have been invaluable. ”
“This resource is amazing. Last year was my first year teaching AP Gov, and in a redesign year, I had nothing. Over the summer, I started working on a course and developed a fairly large amount of activities but lacked a foundation for my course. This course has been the glue that made my other summer work all fit together. The notes are amazing, the links to other activities are great and the depth of the course is without comparison. My students love it and my classes are never dull. Thank you so much for this wonderful work!!!”
