While I am still hard at work building out our brand-new lesson plans for AP U.S. History and AP U.S. Government, I wanted to share a tool I created to help streamline the process: my Lesson Design Slide Deck. Specifically tailored around the EduProtocols I use most frequently in my own classroom, each slide (more than 30 in all) features a breakdown of the protocol alongside a dedicated space for classroom ideas. I’ve been filling mine with running lists of potential assignments and images from my favorite teachers. My ultimate goal is to print, laminate, and ring-bind them into a handy desk reference for whenever inspiration strikes. Feel free to download the slides for yourself, customize them with your own go-to strategies, and build a personalized lesson design deck that works perfectly for your classroom.

Over the past few weeks, I have been working to completely restructure my AP US History curriculum. If you’ve followed my journey with EduProtocols before, you know how much I love the framework—but this year, I am doubling down. I’ve spent my days taking everything I’ve learned and explicitly mapping out Units 1 through 3 to be faster, tighter, and more heavily reliant on these workflows than ever before. My goal is to completely eliminate the standard lecture fatigue and turn my AP students into historical analysts from day one. We aren't just skimming the surface for the sake of the exam pacing; we are using the protocols to force deep processing. Instead of passively copying slides, my students will be hunting for historical lies in "Nacho Paragraphs," weaponizing the XYZ Affair panic to write authoritarian Federalist "NewsBlasts," and using "Guardrails vs. Exit Ramps" to debate the strict boundaries of the Constitution. I am finishing up the polishing phase on the slide decks, digital templates, and pacing guides right now, and I’ll have all of these plug-and-play APUSH resources posted to the resource section of my website by the end of the summer! Until then, here is a preview of the work I have done! Click on each image to read the details.

I love sharing my lesson creations with other teachers on Facebook, Twitter, and my website. It brings me so much joy pass on all that I have learned from others over the years.
If you are feeling generous and would like to buy me a coffee, that will keep me energized to continue creating and sharing.
