Towers High School Parents, Staff, and Students,If you are enrolled in an accelerated placement (AP) course, the following helpful information below is from the CollegeBoard. Please utilize these resources to help you continue to prepare for your AP course while we participate in virtual learning.
Last week we shared information about flexible, online testing and optional instruction to support schools and students as they deal with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, March 25, students and teachers can attend free, live AP® review courses, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. The classes are designed as a flexible supplement, aligned to the course and exam description topic structure. Available on YouTube Live, the courses: |
| • | Focus on reviewing the skills and concepts from the first 75% of the course. They also include lessons covering topics from the final 25% of the course; this is content that colleges expect students to know to earn credit and placement but won't be tested on the exam. | | • | Are mobile friendly and available on-demand so they can be accessed anytime. | | • | Can also be used alongside work you already have planned. | | • | Are also available to teachers seeking to establish connections to their own instruction. |
The course schedule (.pdf/456 KB) is available online, along with information about what will be covered this week. All times on the schedule are Eastern Time. We'll continue to post updates as they’re available. We encourage you to pass information about the courses along to your students.
Teachers who are providing remote instruction can continue to use AP Classroom. More information will be shared about practice exams and new functionality later this week.
Thank you for your continued commitment to supporting students during this challenging time.
Sincerely,
Advanced Placement Program
