Create Quizzes Using the Question Bank
Teachers can use existing items from the Question Bank.
The "Show all questions" option shows all the questions for teachers to review before adding them to the quiz.
This can be done for MCQs and for multi-part FRQs that have been broken out into separate questions.
An icon appears next to the Question Title, indicating if it’s a Topic Question, or if it’s part of a Progress Check of a Practice Exam, to help them decide to include it in their quiz.
Lockdown Browser
CCSD IT has been alerted about this feature to ensure computers have access to the update.
On Chromebooks, it is a browser extension.
To enable when assigning the quiz, go to Advanced Settings -> Enable Lockdown Browser -> Select Yes.

AP Seminar - Course Changes 2027-2028
Goal: to "protect authentic student writing in the age of AI, build responsible AP use into the course skills, and give schools more flexibility in how they offer the course"
Individual Written Argument (IWA) will be completed in a new platform.
"Students will research and gather evidence on the open web or with AI tools, then move into a secure space, in class and with a teacher present, to outline, draft, and review without AI."
AI is NOT required. AI use is NOT assessed.
Available to students in January 2028
Teachers can previous and access resources in summer/fall 2027.
Cannot be offered in Semester 1 due to IWA completion.
Individual Research Report (IRR) no longer contributes to the student's overall AP Seminar score
Still required before a score can be given on the Team Multimedia Presentation
Course Audit:
All AP Seminar teachers will need to resubmit Course Audit for the redesigned course.
June 1, 2027: Course Audit opens - submissions can start
January 31, 2028: Course Audit deadline
What is NOT changing:
SCDE does not allow Seminar to count as an ELA credit. Teachers will continue to use the AP Seminar CED, and schools will schedule AP Capstone Seminar as an elective course.

FAQs
Is there outside work? How much?
There is no outside work.
We may ask you to bring materials to a meeting, but they would be items you have already. For example: summative assessment
Do I have to attend all 4 sessions?
Nope! Come to 1, 2, 3, or all 4!
We would LOVE for you to attend all 4 sessions, but we know that may not be feasible.
Can my school rotate representatives?
Yes, absolutely!
We know substitute requests can be challenging to fill. Rotate representatives as much as you want. Our goal is to have an AP Social Studies and AP ELA teacher from every school.
Reach out to ErinR_Young@charlestoncountyschools.gov with any questions, concerns, or supports needed.
