U.S. History

This course is designed to help teachers build a successful AP U.S. history program. The course will begin with “nuts and bolts” considerations like tackling the exam, understanding the curriculum framework, and pacing the course. From there, the course will address building skills for AP U.S. History, including writing skills, critical thinking skills, and document analysis skills. The class will be delivered, in large part, through Google Classroom. Participants should bring a laptop or other web-enabled device.
