College Board Recommendation

The College Board encourages AP teachers to take advantage of professional development. Based on survey data, teachers across the country have found AP professional development to be extremely valuable. Teachers who do attend an AP Summer Institute in 2024 should be able to:

• Understand the Course
• The course framework defines the scope of the course and specifies what students must know and do to be successful on the AP Exam.
• Plan the Course
• Sequencing, pacing, and scaffolding are essential for building students’ understanding and their ability to transfer and apply knowledge and skills.
• Teach the Course
• Effective instructional strategies help students to develop a mastery of course content and skills over time.
• Assess Student Progress and Understanding
