Welcome AP World History Teachers

Greetings fellow AP World History teacher. I created this website for my students but soon learned that many teachers were accessing my site and making use of my resources. Since then, I have tried to provide the AP World community with presentations and handouts they can use in their classrooms. 

$120 for Google Drive Access
$60 for Access to Answer Keys (with email proof you are a teacher)
(note: if you took advantage of early access pricing before May 23, you get access to both.)

  • Donations of $120 will have access to my entire website including all handouts, presentations, pacing calendars, and exam review materials.
  • Donations of an additional $60 will have access to the answer key folder, with proof that you are an educator. 
​
Donations of less than $120 (for main drive access) or $60 (for separate answer key access) or $180 (for both) will be refunded. If you donated during the early access period (before May 23, 2025), you automatically have access to both. 

​Please email me when you have donated so I can add your desired email to allow access to the materials via Google Drive. The link to my email is below. 

If you think your school will reimburse you: 

I can send you an invoice for payment, but please email me FIRST before donating. This is only if you think your school might reimburse you. Please check with your bookkeeper before moving forward with donating. 

IMPORTANT: You MUST have access to Google Drive in order to access the materials on the site. Additionally, all answer keys are PDF files. If that is an issue, please do not donate for access to the answer keys. ​

What Your Donation Includes: 

An entire course of content:

Through your donation, you gain access to every handout, activity, and presentation I use to teach the entire AP World History course.

You can purchase this as a new AP World History teacher and not need to make a single activity, presentation, or handout for AP World History for the school year. Imagine never having another "Sunday scaries" moment wondering what you are going to teach that week! I have pacing guides with links to every presentation and activity you could use to teach that topic that day. 

Content directly aligned with CB's Course Content for AP World: 

I did my best to create a course that covers every topic for AP World History as outlined in the Course and Exam Description. I also focus the content, activities, and handouts on the five course themes: Environment, Cultural Developments, Governance, Economic Systems, Social Interactions & Organization, and Technology & Innovation.

Content directly aligned with CB's skills:

My activities consistently address AP World's three historical reasonings skills: causation, comparison, and changes and continuities over time. These skills are woven into all of my lesson and presentations to ensure that students are practicing the skills they need to be successful on the AP World History exam (And in life! These are awesome skills for any student to develop!)

My expertise:

These resources were created by a 12+ year AP World History veteran teacher who has taught at both Title I and high achieving high schools and attended the AP Reading for AP World History for seven years. My students have a lot of success on the AP World History exam. 

In Summary:

I think the donation is fair for an entire course worth of content--literally years of my work and experience. If you do not think this is a fair offer, then do not take it. It's that simple. ​

Frequently Asked Questions

"Why are you charging for access to your website?"

I received a lot emails for help teaching this course, emails for access to documents, people abusing and reposting my resources without permission, students posting answers online, etc. At times I would receive hundreds of access emails from students whose districts blocked access to outside Google documents. This simply became too much for me to manage for free.

I've worked extremely hard to make my class as efficient and successful as possible. My students have consistent success on the AP World History exam. This required years of experience and thousands of hours of my work. I think it's fair at this point in my career to charge for access to my labor and skills. 

"Why are you charging two seperate prices for your website and answer keys?"

Not everyone wants or needs answer keys. This would be most useful for 1) new AP World teachers 2) teachers that need to leave answer keys for long-term substitutes.

Additionally, I want to have more control over who has access to the answer keys. Proof that you are an educator is required. All answer keys are PDF files and are hand written by me to avoid students gaining access and cutting and pasting information directly onto their own digital handouts.
​
"I can't afford the donation request for access." 

I realize not everyone has the capacity to donate for access. There are a plethora of free resources available online and within online AP World communities for teachers to access. Additionally, College Board has created videos and materials available at AP Central.

"How are the paid resources different than the free ones?" 
​
There is no longer access to free resources from me. If you have copies of my previous work, please keep using it! Otherwise, all access to the current versions of my presentations and handouts has been locked. 

Keep in mind that in spring 2025 I updated many of the handouts, activities, and presentations. I also created new activities and added resources I had previously not made public. I put a lot of work into making everything more streamlined and effective than previous versions. 

"I want to donate, but I don't use PayPal." 
​
If you do not have a PayPal and would prefer to use Venmo or Cash App, please email me and I will give you my information. 

"What if I donated in the past?"

If you have previously donated and would like access minus your previous donation(s), please email me. I have records of all past donations and I would like to honor your past contributions and kindness! A link to my email is near the top of the page. 

"I've been using your resources for years and already have copies of them. Can I still make a small donation just to show my appreciation?" 

Absolutely! And in fact, that is really awesome of you. Just leave a note with your donation to indicate you don't need full site access and are just sharing the love, otherwise donations of less than the required amount will be refunded. 

Please know though that I have improved a lot of my presentations and handouts recently! 

"What about access to tests and quizzes?" 

If you can prove that you are in fact a teacher, with a copy of your ID that matches the name from your PayPal, or your name and email posted on your school's website (and you can email me from that email address), I will also give you access to some assessments (not DBQs or multiple choice exams).

"What if I want my school district to make the donation instead of it being a personal donation?" 

Unfortunately, I don't have the documentation you would need to obtain district approval to make this purchase. This will need to be made as a personal contribution from you. 

However, if you think your school might reimburse you, I can also send you an invoice via PayPal BEFORE you make a donation. Just email me and request an invoice first. Check with your bookkeeper before moving forward. ​

"I don't want access to everything. I just need materials for a specific unit. Can I donate less to have access to specific materials and not the full site?" 

While I understand this is often the case, the donation is for full site access. I do not have the option for you to purchase materials a la carte. 

"The answers to some of your handouts have been posted online. I don't feel comfortable assigning them to my students for homework." 

  • Personally, I'm not a big fan of homework. I've found over the years that so many students copy homework (they take photos of their work and share them in group chats) or use AI to find answers. In my class, all of my handouts are completed during class while I lecture, therefore cheating and copying is not necessary. 
  • I am in the process of changing up all the handouts so they don't match the previously released ones. That way, students copying directly from an online source will not have the exact answer. Please give me some time to do this. It will be completed for all graphic organizers by August 2025. ​

Make Your Own Copy of My Resources

Once you have gained access to my website, I encourage you to make a copies of the resources you will be using. 

​Sometimes districts will restrict access to Google documents outside of your network and I receive sometimes dozens of access request emails from students on a typical school day. This is incredibly frustrating for me when I am trying to be helpful to my fellow educators.
