 \nASSISTANCE  \nCENTER-  \nSOUTHAT SEF  \n# ADVANCED\n\nPLACEMENT(AP)EDUCATOR TOOLKIT  \nThis toolkit was created in consultation with the National Academy of Education.The EAC-South would like to thank Micah Pate and Amy Berman for their contributions.  \n# ADVANCED PLACEMENTEDUCATOR TOOLKIT\n\nEquity and Opportunity in AP  \nThe Advanced Placement(AP)program offers students the opportunity to engage in rigorous,college-levelcourseworkwhile sillin high school.Yet,participation has historically reflected systemic inequities,with underrepresented groupsoften facing barriers to access and success.These gaps are not due to student ability,but to inequitable systems,structures,and expectations.  \nAs an educator,you play a pivotal role in breaking down these barriers.Teachers shape student confidence,scaffoldlearning,and fostera classroom culture in which rigorous expectations are achievable forall.When students,especiallythose from historically marginalized groups,see themselves succeed in AP,the benefits extend well beyonda singleclass:They gain transferable college credits,develop persistence,and see themselves as belonging in advancedacademic spaces.By intentionally centering equity,APeducators expand pathways to college,careers,and lifelongsuccess.  \nTo support teachers in implementing AP effectively,this toolkit provides strategies,resources,and best practices acrossplanning,instruction,assessment,classroom management,and professional growth.Thegoal isto empower APeducators to create engaging,inclusive,and high-performing classrooms that set students upfor long-term success.  \n# Building an Equitable AP Classroom\n\nCreating an equitable AP classroom requires a shift from seeing APas aprivilegefor a few to recognizing it as anopportunity for every capable student.Teachers can:  \n·Use culturally affirming materials so students see themselves reflected in the curriculum.  \n● Establish norms that emphasize inclusion,respect,and belonging.  \n·Actively encourage students who may not self-identify as“AP students.”  \n·Communicate with families about AP's benefits and expectations,offering resources in multiple languages.  \n·Celebrate diverse success stories to build enthusiasm and visibility.  \nWhen AP culture is strong,students gain confidence,families feel supported,and schools demonstrate a deepcommitment to educational equity.  \nClassroom Example:One APEnglish teacher createda“Welcome to AP”family night where parents and studentsreviewed sample texts together.Families saw the rigor,but also the supports,such asgraphic organizers and sentencestarters,that would be provided.This approach reduced anxiety and built trust with families.  \n## Course Planning\n\nStrong course planning is the foundation forequitable AP access.Use these steps and resourcesto design courses that are rigorous,well-placed,and accessible to all students:  \n·Understand the APCourse Framework:Review College Board's framework,objectives,and skills.  \n·Highlight benefits for students:Emphasize how AP supports college credit,readiness,and postsecondary success.  \n·Identify prerequisite skills:List essentialknowledge and plan targeted review,supplementalinstruction,orscaffolds to close gaps.  \n·Audit prerequisites:ldentify where requirements unintentionally restrict access;design scaffolds or supportcourses to widen opportunity.  \n·Spiral prerequisite skils:Integrate review opportunities into AP course design so students can catch up withoutlosing rigor.  \n·Developayear-long scope andsequence:Align with AP Course Audit requirements,sequencing units to ensurecoverage before the AP exam.  \n·Create pacing guides and lesson plans:Include checkpoints,review windows,and opportunities for reteaching.  \nFor example,a math pathway to AP Calculus may begin with Algebralin middle school and move through Geometry,Algebrall,and Precalculus.Within the AP classroom,teachers can continue to spiral skills from earlier courses toensure equitable success.  \nClassroom Example:An APBiology
