As AP Exams begin, I want to take a moment to recognize the teachers and coordinators who have opened these doors for students.
Because of the ways you’ve planned, taught, coached, encouraged, inspired, and removed barriers, minds and hearts are just not the same as they were nine months ago.
And that’s of course far more important than what happens these next few weeks.
But I also remain in awe of the ways you’ve invoked the standards of the AP exam, throughout the year, to help students make good choices, to keep going, to try again when at first they don’t grasp a concept or demonstrate a skill, to devote the extra time and attention that learning requires. You are a force.
Wishing you all the best, during these two big weeks and in your summer to come.
