What kind of training is available for AP Art History teachers?
The best way to get in-depth experience is to attend a weeklong College Board¿endorsed AP Summer Institute. You will learn about critical topics such as course structure and content, pacing and coverage, understanding the AP Exam grading process (with specific attention placed on the implications for instruction), and gathering best practices to help your students improve thinking and writing skills. You can also get valuable information about the recent changes in the teaching and assessment of AP Art History. And the opportunity to review major textbooks offers insights into adapting the most appropriate textbook for your class. Many workshop participants say that one of the most valuable parts of the workshop is the interaction and networking with other AP Art History teachers, during field trips as well as in the workshop setting. One- and two-day conferences are also available.
