Kent Korek: Biography

I currently teach five sections of AP Psychology here at Germantown High School. In my twenty-nine years at GHS I have taught Psychology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Social Problems, US History and AP Psychology since its inception in 1992. Prior to working at Germantown, I taught in West Allis for 2 years after graduating from Marquette University with a double major in history and psychology.

In 2003, I developed the companion web site and authored the classroom electronic presentations (PowerPoint) for the textbook, Thinking About Psychology. Last year I completed work on the web site and Powerpoints for the second edition of the text as well as creating questions for a Radio Frequency Classroom Response System (Clickers).

For the past five years I have been invited to be a reader for the AP Psychology Exam. Over the course of a week I help score one of the two free response questions from the AP Psychology Exam. Since the 2008 AP Psychology Reading, I was invited to be a Table Leader which entails training and overseeing eight other readers. The above picture is me wearing a T-shirt designed by the 2009-2009 AP Psychology students at the 2009 reading. In addition, I have been endorsed as a College Board Consultant which allows me to present College Board sponsored workshops.

During the last five summers I have taught at the Carleton College AP Psychology Summer Institute. For a week in June, I work closely with 20 AP Psychology teachers, many who are teaching AP Psychology for the first time.
