Summer PD Series: Keeping Students On-Track for Success in AP Chemistry

How do I keep my students on-track for success in the face of the rigor of an AP course? How do I work on the academic and non-academic skills they need to develop to persist and succeed? If those are questions you commonly ask yourself, this session is for you. Scott Nickles, Mass Insight’s Senior Content Director will share its newly released AP On-Track Framework, which provides a road map for both academic and non-academic learning and experiences essential to the success of AP students. The framework can help teachers determine which supports they can proactively put in place at specific points in the school year to improve the chances of success for students from historically underserved backgrounds.
