"Without the AP model, we are able to dive deeper into the questions that interest the students. Whereas sometimes we had to sacrifice a level of genuine curiosity to ensure that we understood AP material for the test, we now have much more open-ended and student-led discussions. There are moments for tangential questions that promote learning and retention of concepts. I love our new style of classes because it centers the student rather than an ability to score well on a test."
