Set up AP study hall where students have access to AP teacher(s) regularly
If allowed by the master schedule, create a central place where students can access AP teachers regularly, so that as many burdens as possible are removed from the process of seeking out help. Staffed study halls can be a powerful strategy to provide support to students with assignment completion, content clarification and assessment preparation. It can also be another space, besides the classroom, where they can find support from peers.
