Teaching with Davidson Next explains the purpose and mission of Davidson Next: to help improve teaching and learning in AP courses with digital materials on edX.org. To help inspire you, we share real-life examples of ways that AP® teachers have leveraged Davidson Next and best practices for blended learning.

We know that as AP® teachers you are highly committed to your students and creating a great experience in your classroom. To that end, we want to help you effectively use the Davidson Next modules in your AP® classes. When you’re armed with AP®-aligned content and know ways to integrate it into what you are already doing, you can expand your options as a teacher and help your students learn and master concepts in new ways!
