• Is your school considering the best mission- and values-driven curriculum for your students?
• Are you unsure if AP classes are still the best way to enhance student learning?
• Do you want to provide meaningful content that is unique to the needs of your students?

If your school continues to offer standardized courses based on external content goals, you're missing out on a student-centered approach. Courses should fit the unique interests and needs of the learners enrolled at your schools. It's time to reevaluate.

Explore why and how your school must evaluate your existing curriculum and redesign it to better benefit your learners. See how schools have achieved success in moving from Advanced Placement toward coursework that is more meaningful, authentic, and relevant to students. 

This online workshop also runs April 28–29, 2021!
