AP Latin: 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 Latin.
Whether you’re considering AP Latin, 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 Latin, including how the course aligns with your state’s standards
- How the course fits in your Latin sequence, and which grade level should take it
- What teachers should do to prepare to teach AP Latin, and what resources are available to support a successful course launch
- How the 6 units combine the syllabus readings from Vergil’s Aeneid and Pliny the Younger’s Letters with other readings teachers select
- What the course project involves, including how teachers fit each year’s new project passages into their instruction
- What instructional shifts matter most when moving from a traditional or honors Latin course to AP Latin, and how to support students who are new to advanced coursework
- What the AP Latin Exam assesses, including its translation, short-answer, and short essay free-response questions, and how to align instruction and formative assessments to it
