AP workshops and summer institutes

While I was at the AP Central web site, I looked up workshops and summer institutes for AP Comparative. It's too late to go to the workshop on 15 February, in Richardson, TX, but the others might still be possible.

For details on these workshops and institutes, go to AP Central, sign in and click on the fifth (and last) green menu item on the left side of the screen, "Institutes and Workshops."

That will get you to a page where you can choose to search by course, dates, and states for workshops and institutes. When I searched for Comparative Government and Politics, here's what I found.

Now is probably the time to begin making plans for warmer weather. (There is a wide range of choices for summer institutes compared to the days, many years ago, when I tried for three consecutive summers to attend one. All were cancelled for lack of registrations. Just goes to show how long I've been involved with this.)

Comparative Workshops:
  • 3 March in Charlottesville, VA
  • 8 March in Santa Ana, CA

  • 18 March and 19 March (for experienced teachers) in River Grove, IL

There's also an institute for experienced teachers of "Government and Politics" beginning 28 June in Taos, NM. The listing doesn't specify whether it's for Comparative or US or both. You'll have to inquire.
