I want to introduce myself. My name is Gabriel Dorrego.
I grew up in Miami, Florida, a child of Cuban immigrants. My mom said I could draw before I could talk. So as you can imagine, I decided to study art at the University of Central Florida. I’ve taught high school students ceramics, sculpture, drawing, and painting for twenty years in Orlando’s Orange County Public Schools.
Eleven years ago, I began scoring the AP art exam as a reader (scorer). During that time, they asked me to write the scoring rationale for 2D, 3D, and drawing on the CollegeBoard website. I did this for three consecutive years. Later, I was selected to contribute in the making of the AP Daily videos. These live-recorded lessons in the AP online classroom are accessible to students and teachers. These are intended to help understand the skills and expectations needed to succeed. In recent years I have continued to serve as a Table Leader. TLs train and manage groups of readers who score the exam. And finally, I’ve been an AP consultant for the last two years, teaching workshops with strategies for Art and Design.
I believe in the CollegeBoard’s commitment to serving students in readiness through vigor and access. I hope to share my experience of working with everyday kids through the AP Art and Design exam.
I look forward to working with you all, fist bumps to each of you.
