Are you ready to elevate your AP program and drive student success? In this session, we will explore the powerful synergy between AP Classroom and AP Instructional Planning Reports.
• AP Classroom provides comprehensive instructional support, offering resources to plan courses, create practice assignments, and track student progress. • AP Instructional Planning Reports offer insights by comparing your students' performance on AP exams against a global benchmark, helping identify areas for targeted improvement.
By integrating these tools, administrators can effectively align instructional strategies with student needs, fostering a more focused and impactful learning environment.
In this session, administrators will learn how to use AP Instructional Planning Reports after AP exams to reflect on the past year and plan for the upcoming school year as well as utilize AP Classroom to support teachers throughout the school year. Join us to gain valuable insights and practical strategies to support your AP program and drive student success.
Join the College Board as we share important AP and PSAT/NMSQT updates for 2025-26. We will also spend time discussing important resources needed tor AP and PSAT/NMSQT administrations.

Algebra is often considered a gateway to higher-level math and future academic success, but when is the right time for students to take it? Should we wait until students are fully “ready,” or can some benefit from being challenged earlier? This presentation explores the impact of early algebra placement on student growth, using real data to examine whether front-loading advanced coursework helps or hinders long-term achievement.
We will look at key questions: • Does enrolling in algebra early give students an advantage, or does it create unnecessary struggles? • How do factors like prior academic readiness and gifted identification influence student success in algebra? • Are there systematic barriers that prevent some high-achieving students from accessing early algebra?
By shifting the conversation from acceleration to developmental placement, this session will provide insights into how schools can make data-driven decisions about early math coursework. Attendees will leave with research-backed, practical considerations for shaping policies that ensure students are both challenged and supported in their academic journey.
