World History: Modern – Agenda

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.
