# data[].attributes.body
The College Board doesn't report multiple areas of focus or learning objectives for a single item. They usually make a single best choice (realizing that sometimes the single best choice for an area of focus is that there isn't a good alignment).

There is no one checking daily to make sure about this. If you miss 1 or 2 throughout the program it shouldn't matter....if you don't use any of the learning checkpoints or performance your district may be contacted to discuss. The College Board implementation team does keep an eye on the LC data and will contact the PreAP Coordinator if things look too far off.

# data[].attributes.body
The Pre-AP courses provide model lessons and resources for teachers to use alongside their own locally developed instructional resources. Thus, it is not a complete curriculum, but rather a course framework and model lessons designed to target skills and concepts of high importance that students typically need more support with. Pre-AP courses focus deeply on a limited number of concepts and skills with the broadest relevance for high school coursework and college and career success. You should use the crosswalk to view how learning objectives match up with your state curriculum.

The Pre-AP program is flexible, and not a "curriculum," thus it is essential for teachers to supplement as well. The Pre-AP courses provide model lessons and resources for teachers to use alongside their own locally-developed instructional resources. Teachers can strategically adjust lessons to meet learners' needs. Use of the model lessons is encouraged but not required by College Board, and expectations are set by your district.

While it is not a curriculum, the course framework has been designed in a specific way to best support students in internalizing the skills and concepts of Algebra 1. Since it is not a curriculum, the resources provided will not cover 100% of the learning objectives for the course, and we must supplement with locally-developed resources. Choices on pacing and ordering are best decided by your district curriculum map, pacing guide, and district expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiation is best done by making strategic adjustments to the Pre-AP lessons that focus on grade-level objectives, by using learning strategies (think-pair-share, summarizing, marking the text, critiquing reasoning, etc.), scaffolding with guided questioning, use of manipulatives for support, strategic collaborative grouping, etc. We will discuss this in Class 2 and you will learn about it in Module 5.
