AP CSA

The CodeHS AP Computer Science A (Cortado) course maps 1:1 with the structure of AP Classroom, ensuring that teachers can seamlessly integrate resources from both platforms. For each lesson, there are corresponding resources available in AP Classroom.

  • Topic Questions: Assign topic questions after every lesson to provide formative assessments that target specific skills. These questions align with the material in each CodeHS lesson and give students additional practice with AP-style questions.

  • Progress Checks: Use progress checks as more comprehensive, formative assessments during mid-unit or end-of-unit reviews. These checks are designed to gauge students’ understanding of broader topics and provide actionable insights for teachers.

  • Practice Exams: As the AP Exam approaches, utilize the full-length practice exams that are available on AP Classroom. These exams familiarize students with the test format, timing, and content, serving as valuable summative assessments that prepare them for exam day.

AP CSP

CodeHS AP CSP lessons do not align directly to AP Classroom lessons. To determine which AP Classroom resources would be most useful to assign for a given CodeHS lesson, teachers can look at the CodeHS mapping of the AP CSP framework to the lesson in the AP CSP course they are using. Using the mapping, teachers can trace our lessons back to Big Ideas, and then Subdivisions to find related AP Classroom material. This image can be used to identify standards and their Big Ideas.
