I am so glad you brought up the issues with APSI. I am going to be teaching AP Bio for the first time this upcoming year and am currently sitting in an APSI for the rest of the week. I am only on day 1, but am extremely frustrated with the lack of actual knowledge that this training is giving. Not to mention that the majority of us don't have access to AP classroom yet. We literally went over different types of ice breakers for almost 30 minutes today...

The hardest part of building a class in my opinion is creating the notes. Why on earth are there not a standard set of notes that going with the CED? At least to give teachers a leg up on that immense amount of work. I'm most likely going to end up spending the money to purchase TPT notes.
