For the first time since 2005, when the AP Reading was in San Antonio at Trinity University, and the second time overall, David McClave was invited to be an AP German Reader at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln from June 11 to June 19th, 2009. The Reading (actually grading of more than 4400 AP German exams) was completed by 72 AP German teachers and professors of German from around the United States and even from Germany. It is one of the best opportunities for professional development available to teachers and professors in the field of German language and culture. On that subject during the Reading Herr McClave was also at work on a syllabus to be submitted to the College Board as a guide for teachers who will teach AP German Language and Culture, starting in 2012 or 2013, when a new AP Exam will appear. The Reading was ably led by Professor Johanna Watzinger-Tharp, Chief Reader. The University of Nebraska did an outstanding job of hosting the Reading for the last time in this cycle. Next year the Reading moves to Cincinnati, Ohio.
