Advanced Placement English Literature and Language
“Sakai has helped me to transform the class from a lecture-hall style of teaching and learning to a place where students leave the lecture to go discover, collaborate, and explore the lesson on their own terms.”
Michael BurnsMinisink Valley Central School DistrictNew York
Hybrid Format
• Students meet face-to-face only 5 times
• “Without the students realizing it, Sakai has allowed me to triple the amount of time the students spend in AP English class.”
