Join us—March 25th at 7pm EST

In her role as a College Board AP® Spanish Consultant, Parthena Draggett stresses that there are two key components to the AP® Spanish Language and Culture program: the course itself and the goal of exam preparation, both of which are necessary for student success.

 As such, Temas was developed with this in mind, mirroring the AP® Spanish Language and Culture curriculum framework. Likewise, AP® Spanish Language and Culture Exam Preparation is the exam practice text, beautifully mirroring the exam format and focused on polishing skills for the specific exam tasks that students will have in May. Both now in their second edition, Parthena will highlight the features of the carefully sculpted and successful Temas program to:

  • Guide teachers to get the most out of these amazing resources
  • Boost student experiences and level of preparation in Spanish communication for the AP® exam
  • Provide teacher support and time saving tools in teaching the course
