November’s PD Lineup: Two Sessions, Endless Takeaways

AP Environmental Science: “Need to Know”
November 18 | 7 PM EST

If you teach AP Environmental Science, this session is for you. Our presenters (who are experienced AP readers and teachers) will cover common mistakes students make, FRQ tips, and more. You’ll also receive free Switch Classroom lessons designed to make test prep click.

By the end of the hour, you’ll leave with practical ways to teach APES content and the critical thinking skills the AP exam demands.

Middle School Energy and Electricity
November 19 | 7 PM EST

Don’t be misled by the name—this “Middle School Energy and Electricity” session isn’t just for middle school educators. In fact, it’s designed for any teacher in grades 4–12 who wants to make electricity and energy come alive.

You’ll explore hands-on labs, real-world applications, and simple strategies that make even tricky topics approachable and fun. Whether you’re teaching upper elementary foundations or high school-level physics, you’ll find adaptable ideas that fit your classroom.

By attending, you’ll not only gain new lessons but also the confidence to approach energy and electricity topics with creativity and clarity.
