Wrapped up my 7th AP Language reading & my 1st as table leader. A tremendous growing experience, leading a team of talented instructors from across the nation in assessing student writing. In the age of AI, authentic writing is more important than ever. College Board Trevor Packer

What does #excellenceinaction look like? It looks like Mr. Riley from MacArthur HS outperforming the district, the state of Texas, AND the global in AP PreCalculus! 80% of his students earned qualifying scores! Irving ISD His advice is surprisingly simple: “Work hard!” #L2I

#ExcellenceinAction looks like Ms. OBesso & Ms. Fernandez at Irving High School outperforming the district, Texas, & global on the AP Spanish exam. This dynamic duo embodies a culture of high expectations: “In this class, we listen, speak, read, & write every day!” 🔥🔥 Irving ISD
