High School Instruction & K12 Curriculum

Fairfax County Public Schools Advanced Placement Institute

Fairfax County Public Schools, in cooperation with the College Board, is pleased to offer the AP Summer Institute for teachers of Advanced Placement as part of an ongoing effort to assist schools in meeting the needs of AP students, especially in open access programs. AP Summer Institute consultants are experienced teachers who have demonstrated their ability to help other teachers prepare to teach AP classes.

The AP Institute offers teachers the information, tools, and strategies needed to build successful Advanced Placement programs.  Participants will focus on developing curriculum, sharing and discussing teaching strategies, and reviewing the contributions of research to content, teaching, and labs. A certificate awarding 32 recertification points will be issued to all participants who successfully complete the institute. Registration fee for non-Fairfax County teachers is $600, including the College Board textbook, instructional materials, a light breakfast each morning, and snacks. The $600 includes a non-refundable $50 registration fee. Requests to cancel a registration should be made by e-mail no later than June 1.

Lunch will be available from Wild Flour Caterers for purchase daily for those participants who would prefer not to leave the school for the hour long lunch break (half hour for World History).
