Charlotte will be involved in both the Studio Art and Art History programs. Additionally, she was selected as Lead Teacher for the Art History component.

Charlotte has been a College Board Reader for AP* Studio Art since summer 2000; from 2003-2007 she has served as a Table Leader. She became a College Board Consultant in 2002. Charlotte has presented a variety of workshops on AP* topics for several Texas school districts, as well as at AP* Summer Institutes. From July 2002 through June 2006 Charlotte served as a member of the AP* Studio Art Test Development Committee. Since 2005 Charlotte has been a College Board National Leader for Consultant Training and Endorsement. Charlotte was selected Booker T. Washington H.S.P.V.A. Teacher of the Year for 2000-2001. She also traveled to Japan in November 2001 as a participant of the Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program.
