Professional Development
Professional Development (PD) is content-based and focuses on learning more about your course, program, and how to be a better teacher. PD tools go over your BFW program and how to use its resources to successfully teach your course from day one. PD can also include special topics or deep-dives into specific needs.
-
Implementation Training
Implementation Training focuses on how to utilize Achieve, our digital platform. You can receive basic training on how to navigate your e-book or ask specific questions on LMS-integration. Implementation training does not go into course content, but it’s beneficial for those who want to use technology in the classroom in a more productive way.

BFW Teacher Community
Connect with other teachers in our BFW Teacher Community. You can ask your colleagues questions in the discussion board about how they tackle topics, how they scaffold for students, or anything else classroom-related. You can also access additional resources including author blogs, lesson plans for enrichment, and notes from previously held Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

AP® Updates
We provide support for our products beyond your purchase. If the CollegeBoard updates or redesigns a course, we will post additional resources on our AP® Updates page to make sure your BFW text remains correlated and relevant to the latest frameworks. You can be assured that your program is up-to-date, and you and your students remain AP®-ready.
