Hasta pronto!

Moreover, I am a member of the AP Spanish Development Committee of The College Board, and a consultant for this organization.

Please, bring to the Institute ideas of the best practices you would like to share with your colleagues, the syllabus you will use or are using in your AP class, and any other materials you would like to share with the teachers and with me.
