My review is specifically for Mr. Corey Edwards, the AP History teacher, whose class made my daughter's school experience extremely challenging.
From our experience, my daughter and many of her classmates left the course feeling that they had learned very little. His teaching style primarily consisted of having students take notes, study those notes independently, and then take tests, with very little meaningful instruction or engagement. On multiple occasions, when students approached him for clarification or additional help, they often felt dismissed or like they were inconveniencing him rather than being encouraged to learn.
In all my years as a parent, I have never encountered a teacher who was so ineffective in the classroom. It also appeared that he had taken on numerous additional responsibilities, which may have affected the amount of time and attention he was able to devote to teaching his students.
Another concern was what many students perceived as clear favoritism toward a small group of classmates, which created an uncomfortable classroom environment and was noticeable to others.
Based on our experience, I would not recommend Mr. Edwards as an AP History teacher. I believe he would benefit from additional training in instructional methods, student engagement, and creating a classroom environment where all students feel supported and comfortable asking questions.
