About the Team 

The AP Curriculum and Assessment Team at College Board (110+ staff) collaborates with colleagues across all aspects of the AP Program to develop, manage, and deliver AP’s 40+ courses in a wide variety of subject areas. AP® is a rigorous academic program built on the commitment, passion, and hard work of students and educators from secondary schools and higher education. AP provides willing and academically prepared high school students with the opportunity to study and learn at the college level. 

The AP Reading and Scoring function lies at the heart of AP’s assessment integrity and instructional value. Each year, more than 18,000 college faculty and AP teachers convene to evaluate millions of student responses, ensuring scoring quality, fairness, and consistency across subjects. The AP Curriculum & Assessment (C&A) team—through its leadership of Reader training, scoring guidelines, standard and grade setting, and publications—ensures that each exam score represents a valid, reliable measure of student achievement aligned to college-level standards.
