• 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
