College Board AP Course Audit - Why? When? What?
Instructions for German Teachers
To receive authorization from the College Board to label a 2007-08 course "AP," each AP teacher must submit two important documents related to the course:
- the subject-specific AP Course Audit form and
- a course syllabus
Principals will receive user account information to share with teachers, and instructions for using the Web site, in the mail in January 2007. A demo of the AP Course Audit Web site will also be made available on AP Central in fall 2006 to guide teachers and principals through this process.
