Advanced Placement Summer Institutes
John Cabot University's week-long AP Summer Institutes are a unique opportunity for teachers to develop effective strategies for instruction of AP® Art History, European History and World History courses in the inspiring context of the Eternal City.
Due to a very positive response this past summer, we are pleased to offer all three AP Summer Institutes once again in 2020. Please note that spots are limited, so register and deposit early to guarantee your place!
Course Description
This AP Summer Institute is a unique opportunity for AP® Art History teachers to collaborate while exploring THE ETERNAL CITY, home to outstanding art and architectural examples dating from the Ancient World to the present – including eighteen of the 250 images in the new AP® Art History Curriculum Framework. Participants will focus on these artworks as well as view several other related works of art and architecture while developing instructional strategies, assessments, and research tools that support students understanding in both the western and global content of the recently redesigned AP® Art History Course. The week will be divided between classroom sessions and experiencing Rome's art and architecture first hand.
