Next week, more than 100 high school teachers from Mississippi and surrounding states will gather at Millsaps for the Advanced Placement Institute. The institute, which takes place July 11-16, is the only training for high school AP teachers offered in Mississippi. During the week-long institute, experienced AP instructors will lead workshops in biology, calculus, English composition and literature and U.S. History. Millsaps professors from the respective departments will also speak with the groups about topics of interest. Each group reviews sample AP tests, textbooks, handouts and other resource materials and then develops a sample course curriculum.
Teachers develop working relationships with other teachers and with the consultants.
The instructor was practical, yet challenging, and the material can be used in different situations. I wish every teacher could have an experience like this, because it renews you and makes you anxious to start the next year. For more information, please contact Dr. Gibson at 974-1130. The only national liberal arts college in Mississippi, Millsaps is a privately supported college founded in 1890 and affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
