Pre-AP: Vertical Team Training at Auburn University

General Information:

Pre-AP Vertical Team Training (VTT) at Auburn University June 22-26 is designed to aid in the professional development of teachers, counselors, and administrators who are involved with VTT courses. A Pre-AP Vertical Team is a group of teachers who teach a given discipline at different grade levels (typically, grades 6 through 12) within a school system and work cooperatively to develop and implement a vertically aligned program aimed at helping students acquire the academic skills necessary for success in the Advanced Placement Program.

Classroom Locations

All classes will be conducted on the campus of Auburn University. Specific classroom locations will be announced when that information becomes finalized. On-campus lodging is not available in 2009.

IMPORTANT
Enrollment in each workshop is limited and these offerings are contingent upon sufficient demand. If you wish to attend, register early to ensure that your subject area will be offered and that you will have a seat in the class.
