Advanced Placement

The College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Program enables students to complete college-level studies while they are still in high school, and to obtain college placement or credit, or both, on the basis of their performance on rigorous AP Examinations. In addition, if the student does not earn college credit based on their performance on the exam or if the student chooses not to take the exam, AP courses do an excellent job of preparing high school students for the demands of college level work. In increasing numbers, school across the country have turned to the AP Program as a model of educational excellence. More than half the nation's high schools now take part in the AP Program. This past year, over 12,000 secondary schools participated in AP worldwide, with more than one million examinations administered in the spring.

AP Conferences and Workshops, like the ones at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), offer you, the middle and high school educator, the information, tools and strategies you need to build successful Advanced Placement programs in your schools. All educators who attend these conferences and workshops will strengthen their own professional skills and learn techniques to help students prepare and connect with college and the world they face. The UTSA Summer Institutes courses are taught by some of the best and most experiences middle and high school teachers from around the country. In recent years this program and consultants who teach in this program have received local, state, regional and national awards. Interested educators should apply for this program as soon as possible. Space is limited and it will fill up quickly.
