About AP Mentoring Groups
AP Mentoring is your opportunity to have ongoing support in a small, online group setting with fellow AP teachers. Your mentoring group will be tailored to your needs and experience level, based on your AP subject and session topic selection. Fall registration opens in July and spring registration opens in October.
During the program, you’ll attend four online group meetings facilitated by an experienced AP teacher to discuss strategies to support your students’ success and access shared documents through the AP Mentoring platform. All meetings are an hour long and take place Monday–Friday, during a time convenient for you between 4–10 p.m. ET. At the end of the program, you’ll complete a survey and will receive your CEU certificate.
