Hello NCAPP District Contacts,
Welcome back to another school year, and the sixth year of the NC AP Partnership!
As many of you know, this is an exciting year for AP, as the amazing new resources and supports in AP Classroom and the APRO system come into use. How amazing to give our AP teachers these powerful tools to strengthen their pedagogical practice. Personally, I am so impressed by the design and organization of these resources, and I truly can’t wait to see the impact they have on our students’ performance in AP.
We have a new venue for our fall events– the Grandover Resort in Greensboro – and our events will look a little different this year as we dive into these resources together.
Attached are event descriptions and a timeline for partnership events this school year. We hope this is helpful so you can print and post to keep track of things. We will ask you to complete 2019-20 target district commitment forms at the District Leadership Colloquium.
Action Item: Please mark your calendars and get your team registered for our two kick-off events in early October:
