Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I register now and complete it later? Is there a deadline to complete the course?
After registering, you can complete the course at any time. There is no deadline. However, note that office hours and expert feedback for assignments are only offered during the summer months (June - August).
I'm an experienced stats teacher who is new to Skew The Script. Can I still register?
Of course! The modules provide an excellent way to learn about incorporating relevant contexts and Skew The Script materials into your existing stats courses. That said, some of the modules will be a bit less useful for experienced stats teachers (e.g. the modules on exploring the CED or scoring FRQs). However, you can pick and choose which modules you'd like to complete (see partial completion question at the bottom).
Are there opportunities for collaboration and support?
Even though the modules are self-paced, you are not alone! The course involves discussion forums and feedback from peers, along with assignment feedback and optional live office hours with the course leaders (AP Stats experts Elisa Oliver & Jerry Kosoff).
What happens if I can only complete part of the course?
If you complete the full course, you'll get a certificate of completion for 27 professional development hours. However, if you can only complete part of the course, you can still request a certificate for partial completion at any time. These certificates award hours in proportion to the number of modules completed.
