Advanced Placement Institute

2013 Fairfax County Public Schools Advanced Placement Institute

Fairfax County Public Schools, in cooperation with the College Board, is pleased to offer the Summer Institute for Teachers of Advanced Placement as part of an on-going effort to assist schools in meeting the diverse needs of AP students.  Institute consultants are experienced Advanced Placement teachers and readers who have demonstrated their ability to help other teachers prepare to teach AP classes.

The AP* Institute offers teachers the information, tools, and strategies they need to build successful Advanced Placement programs in their schools.  Participants will focus on curriculum challenges, share and discuss teaching strategies, and review the contributions of research to content, teaching, and labs. A certificate awarding recertification points will be issued to all participants who successfully complete the institute.  The tuition for non-Fairfax County teachers is $600 plus a non-refundable registration fee of $50. The fees include the College Board workshop handbooks, supplementary materials, and a continental breakfast each morning.
