Workshop Agenda
Note: The goal of the workshop is for every teacher to feel prepared to teach AP World. To help meet that goal I will tailor the agenda to meet the needs of the participants in the workshop. I will send out a survey about a week before the workshop to collect information, and then use that information to shape the workshop agenda. I will also get feedback from participants during the week and amend the agenda as needed.
