Enhancing Pre-AP Capacity in Middle School: Strategies for Student Engagement

The AP/Honors Orientation program aims to prepare eighth graders for academic challenges in high school. Through a panel discussion and a Q&A session, parents and students learn about the benefits of AP courses. Events like "AP for a Day" expose middle school students to high school coursework and encourage enrollment in advanced classes. Activities include literature discussions and mentorship, where high school students guide middle schoolers through writing tasks related to "The Worn Path," fostering a relationship between middle and high school education.
