Hey guys, looking for any of you out there that teach, or have taught, an AP course, what kind of resources did you use? Curriculum, text, etc.

Taught AP Physics, relied heavily on old AP tests, bought an "AP Physics for Dummies" type book, and heavily utilized the solutions manual that came with the textbook. The kids in the the class were mostly brain geniuses, so it was tough to stay ahead of them (if I did...)

No, you don't have to teach anything in credit recovery, just sit them in front of the computer.
I just ordered the SpringBoard teachers edition and I'm just looking for resources that y'all may know that are useful within the AP realm.

Get your hand on as many old tests, learn how the tests are scored, design your curriculum around that premise.

GODZILLA!!! Read BEOWULF and have them write a book report over it. Then have them research their favorite mythical character and create a power point about him/her.
