Description

The purpose of the Advanced Placement (AP) Teacher Institutes is to provide South Carolina public school teachers with the special endorsement to teach an AP course as required in S.C. Code Ann. Reg. 43-258.1 (2018). Teachers who successfully complete an AP teacher institute will be awarded special AP endorsement in the specific AP class area.

The purpose of these institutes is to provide initial training for newly assigned AP teachers specifically in the content of the subject area. The institute should prepare teachers to implement the AP class effectively according to College Board requirements, provide a depth of content knowledge in the specific subject area, and provide effective instructional strategies for teaching AP students.
