High school graduation pathways are rapidly evolving, and advanced academics are changing with them. With the College Board’s transition of 28 exams to the digital Bluebook environment—featuring fully digital typing formats, fewer multiple-choice distractors, and embedded digital tools like Desmos—old-school textbook memorization no longer translates to student success or district accountability points. School and district leaders should be modernizing AP structures to introduce “college-like” experiences that help students with digital course navigation, rigorous data and document synthesis, and continuous formative feedback.
Join District Administration, Kaplan, and a panel of leading AP authors and master educators for a focused, 30-minute executive briefing to help inform modernization opportunities without compounding teacher burnout.
Bonus: Attendees who join the live event will be able to participate in a ThoughtExchange workshop to share and rank best practices from their peers.
What you’ll learn:
- The New AP Landscape: How the shift to digital AP exams impact classroom expectations
- Modernizing AP Instruction: Practical shifts that support student success and integrate collegiate learning experiences
- Supporting Graduation Pathways: How AP courses can align with evolving district graduation goals and student ambitions post high school
- Sustainable Implementation: Ways to modernize AP programs while minimizing additional demands on teachers
