From teachers
What teachers say.
From reviews of these resources in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
“
I am in my first year teaching AP World, and this teacher's resources were first recommended to me at the AP Institute. I can say that this curriculum is very well organized and my students are loving it thus far. Also, I appreciate how responsive the seller is to any questions I may have. Taking on a new course is always a bit daunting when you want to do a good job for students, but this is making me feel more comfortable in giving the students good quality resources to help prepare them for the AP Exam. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I've been teaching AP World for 9 years, last year I invested in this pack and am very glad I did. While I don't use everything, I do use the notes, geography for sure! I switched to these notes last year because they aren't as overwhelming for the kids, they are "to the point" and they use beautiful slideshows! I very much appreciate all the hard work put into them. Thank you!

I'm a veteran AP teacher, but I was looking for ideas to change things up, and this certainly helps! I've found so many things to include to supplement my teaching, but I've also picked up new (and better) ways to teach the content and skills. Thank you so much for this resource and for staying on top of updating everything!

As a first year AP World History teacher, this has been an incredible help to my planning. My students love a lot of the activities, especially the escape rooms. Highly recommend this to all who are new to teaching AP World.

The teacher behind it
From a Florida classroom.
The Unraveled Teacher is Alessandra Timmins, who has taught in Florida since 2016, on-level through AP. She built these lessons for her own AP World classes when the hand-me-down materials she was given didn't fit a new AP teacher, and she answers the email herself.
