The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement and College Board have partnered to create a vertical pathway to success in AP STEM courses in high-need, rural districts in Georgia. The program’s goal is to strengthen the teaching of three AP STEM courses – AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles and AP Statistics – in order to (a) build enrollment and (b) increase the number of students taking and earning qualifying (3 or higher) scores on these three AP exams. This grant opportunity will support pre-AP and AP teacher professional learning for AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles and AP Statistics. Grant funds will provide personalized teacher development and support in developing rigorous Pre-AP and AP courses.
