Right now I am in Salt Lake City grading AP exams. I have been grading for years and really enjoy it. I started and continue to come because it does help you teach your students how to better master the free response questions on an AP exam. But it is quite great when you get to meet a bunch of driven AP teachers who inspire me with new ideas and then become a year round resource. Should I add that you are paid, get free room and board and a plane ticket to the grading.
Oh and the grading! Yes you do have to grade a lot of essays and on the 4th or 5th day it can get a bit tough, but most people come back year after year so it isn't that bad. I should add that it makes you a much more efficient grader for your own students' tests.
So if you are interested in applying
go here.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
