Our team recently participated in a professional development day with the College Board, focused on the AP and SAT programs. The sessions provided valuable insights into the latest updates, instructional strategies, and assessment practices, enabling us to better guide and support our students throughout their academic journey. As teachers and AP Coordinators, we strengthened our understanding of how to align classroom instruction with College Board standards, enhance student performance, and ensure a smoother testing experience for all participants.
Each tree we planted felt like a small promise to the future a symbol of hope, growth, and care for our planet As I held the young sapling and covered its roots with soil, I realized how powerful small actions can be. One tree may seem small, but together they will grow to create shade, shelter, and clean air for generations to come Looking around at everyone smiling, tired but proud, I felt a deep connection to nature.
