Who Should Attend?
Each Institute is especially designed for teachers at middle
and high school levels––especially those currently teaching AP
World History and/or Human Geography, and those preparing for or
considering offering these courses in the future. These teachers
will find this experience just what they need.
These workshops are also valuable for those teachers who teach
world history and/or geography outside the AP framework.
Experienced teachers can retool and rethink how they are presenting
the material in their classrooms. New teachers will work with
experienced colleagues to identify skills expected of students and
specific topics for inclusion in their curriculum.
Graduate Credit?
Missouri teachers who complete Institute requirements and pay a
$25 registration fee will receive three hours of free graduate
credit from Southeast Missouri State University. Out of state
teachers should contact Megan Moncure at mmoncure@csd.org
for further information.
