Hold session with parents/students to familiarize with AP expectations and structures
For many parents, this will be their first experience with AP. Families want to see their students do well but may not know the best ways to provide support. By pulling back the veil on the expectations and structures of AP and providing concrete ways families can support students, teachers can leverage family support for the good of the students.
