This past week, lead Middle School Language Teachers participated in a professional learning tour to Westminster School. Teachers were able to see AP French, Mandarin, and Spanish classes in preparation for the upcoming tests in May and the upcoming adjustments to the test in 2027 and beyond. We are fortunate to have partnerships with local schools with strong language programs to exchange and share best practices.
