A Message from the College Board

We're celebrating in AP. The launch of two more redesigned courses is just around the corner. In fall 2013, our dedicated educators will begin teaching the redesigned AP Chemistry and AP Spanish Language and Culture, helping students become reflective, independent, lifelong thinkers and learners. The courses align with similar college courses, reflect rigorous standards, and mesh content with the thinking skills colleges look for in an applicant.

At this critical time, you might consider attending an AP Summer Institute. Highly trained consultants lead the workshops, so you'll leave understanding the changes and intent of the redesigned course. You'll also take home some teaching strategies and effective ways to update your syllabus.

With warm regards,
