AP Resources

AR AIMS specializes in serving AP teachers across the state. Active school partners receive monthly consultant visits from our highly qualified professional science team. In addition, active school AP teachers receive a loaded Advanced Placement curriculum support site to help supplement their AP content needs.

If a school partners with AR AIMS for at least three years, it will receive maintenance status. AP teachers at such schools retain access to the resources as long as they attend a workshop (Fall AP Conference Workshop or AP Spring Mock Reading) every year. These sites contain teacher pacing help, Powerpoint presentations, student notes, videos, activities, labs, and student practice problems. Our AP curriculum support site users receive quarterly newsletters from our AP curriculum support site managers. These newsletters contain valuable information about site updates and up-and-coming relevant content for the AP classroom teacher.

Each year, AR AIMS offers two AP® focus workshops specifically designed for Advanced Placement teachers; the AP Spring Mock Reading Workshop and the AP Fall Conference Workshop. We strongly encourage teachers to attend both workshops each year as we bring in highly sought-after field AP experts to facilitate the workshops.
