The Pacific AP® Institute offers intensive five day online teacher-training sessions designed to develop and fine tune the skills of both beginning and experienced AP® teachers. All sessions will be conducted by faculty members chosen for their dynamic presentation skills and involvement with the Advanced Placement program. An overall view of the course syllabus will be presented along with extensive discussions of course planning and management. The sessions will also focus on selecting materials and preparing students for the AP® exam. The Institute also offers a unique opportunity for teachers to network with other teachers in their subject areas.
