"I found that by typing a detailed syllabus it required me to really focus on my teaching and long range planning. It helped me to see the roadmap of my course. I saw a few places where I should make some changes but the overall benefit for me was to see the big picture of what I was trying to accomplish in class. Overall, this experience has made me a better AP teacher." – Latta Johnston, AP European History Teacher

The impact of the Audit goes well beyond what could have been expected and, in fact, provided a wide range of benefits to many AP teachers. The Course Audit provided educators with the impetus to improve existing or new programs and retain sufficient instructional resources. A recent survey of 26,000 teachers who participated in the audit provided such a statistically significant sample size to justify the following claims about the impact of the audit. Hundreds of thousands of high school students will benefit from the increased resources they now receive due to the audit, which enabled a projected:

•17,000 teachers to prevent reductions in lab time and instructional time that were scheduled to affect their courses;

•16,000 teachers to obtain more current college textbooks for their students;

•22,000 teachers to incorporate advances in the discipline that had not yet been added into their curricula; and

•16,000 teachers to receive increased funding from their school or district for professional development.
