The Advanced Placement Program® Mathematics Vertical Teams Toolkit
The Toolkit, the product of a Dana Center–College Board collaboration, provides an invaluable resource for mathematics vertical teams. The Toolkit is a research-based resource guide containing activities for teams of middle- and high-school teachers that enable them to analyze patterns of student achievement in mathematics, to better examine their curriculum, and to work together to redesign their courses so that more students achieve at a higher level. The Toolkit can be purchased directly from the College Board.
