Should I Take the AP Class?

As students select courses for next year, we are often asked: How do you know if a student should take the AP or Honors level of a particular class? Challenge Success Co-Founder Dr. Denise Pope offers questions and considerations for students and parents to ask themselves to help make this decision. Share this video with your school community.
 
Time Management Worksheet

This is also a great tool to share with students as they select courses and determine extracurricular activities for the year. Don't forget to factor in 8-10 hours of sleep per night! This was adapted from a worksheet developed by Miramonte High School, one of our partner schools.

Strategies for Student Well-Being and Engagement with Learning
 
Challenge Success partners with schools, families, and communities to embrace a broad definition of success and to implement research-based strategies that promote student well-being and engagement with learning. We believe that our society has become too focused on grades, test scores, and performance, leaving little time for kids to develop the skills necessary to become independent, resilient, and ethical individuals. Learn more about our impact and how to support our mission. Challenge Success is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Stanford University Graduate School of Education.
