High school teachers of AP* courses at regional sites authorized by the College Board may participate in AP* Institutes anywhere in the United States-in or outside the region in which they teach-to gain the critical information, tools and strategies needed to build and advance successful AP* programs at their schools. Those who choose SCAD have access to the university's outstanding facilities and vibrant learning environment.
AP* Institutes are suitable for both beginning and advanced AP* teachers. Experienced AP* Institute instructors address the content of recent AP* exams, how these exams are scored, and what teachers can do to help their students perform well.
Each weeklong session includes 30 contact hours of instruction, equivalent to 3.0 SDUs or PLUs**.
A course record containing the number of instructional hours is provided to teachers following the successful completion of each workshop. This record can be submitted to the applicable state for professional development units pending evaluation and approval.
Please check back soon for details on summer 2012 programs and dates. Thank you!
