AP Biology: Chat with a Content Expert
We’re set up to help! Schools can schedule both one-to-one and group Zoom chats with a content expert about offering AP Biology.
Whether you’re considering AP Biology, have committed to offering it and want practical advice on getting started, or have questions about what the course offers your students and how it supports your school’s goals, our content experts can help.
You can schedule a one-to-one Zoom chat for your own questions, or a group chat to bring teachers and school leaders into the same conversation, so everyone hears the same answers. There’s no charge and no commitment to decide anything.
You can ask the experts:
- What your school or district should consider before adopting AP Biology, including how the course aligns with your state’s standards
- How AP Biology fits in your science sequence and which grade level should take it
- What teachers should do to prepare to teach AP Biology, and what resources are available to support a successful course launch
- What the student laboratory experience involves, including how much of the year is devoted to hands-on investigations and what that means for your schedule and facilities
- How the 6 science practices spiral across the course, including the data analysis and mathematical routines students apply
- What instructional shifts matter most when moving from a traditional or honors biology section to AP Biology, and how to support students who are new to advanced coursework
- What the AP Biology Exam assesses, and how to align instruction and formative assessments to it
