Goals for AP Institute

It is my goal that all participants in the institutes acquire a variety of experiences that will prepare them to plan, develop, and conduct a successful AP US History class. Participants in this institute will receive a significant amount of instructional materials (such as handouts, internet sources, syllabi, organizational structures, and illustrations of classroom activities); exposed to current trends in historiography; shared classroom techniques; and bibliographical resources.
