Course Preparation
Attendees should come prepared with their personal curriculum and calendaring materials for planning purposes, including any specific district curriculum guides or pacing calendars they are required to follow. This will facilitate the hands-on process of developing a robust course plan by unit and topic that incorporates the full scope of the AP Statistics course into their specific academic calendar. No other specific advance preparation is required.
