ACTR/College Board Teacher Training Workshop Summer 2004

[Camelot Marshall]

ACTR/College Board Teacher Training Workshop  Summer 2004

ACTR and Bryn Mawr College, in cooperation with the College Board, will
offer a faculty development workshop for high school teachers interested
in starting an Advanced Placement Russian Program in their school in the
fall of 2004.  Participants will become familiarized with the AP
practices in general as well as with the Russian web-based curriculum
and teacher authoring tools for use in their pilot Russian AP course.
Teachers will also be apprised of the newly developed pilot Russian AP
examination, typically administered at the end of an AP course.  Upon
completion of the workshop, participants will be given a certificate in
recognition of their training.

The workshop is scheduled for July 10-17, 2004 which overlaps Bryn
Mawr's summer Russian Language Institute, thus providing teachers
opportunities to practice Russian outside of the workshop sessions.
Workshop participants will receive travel, room and board, as well as a
small stipend for attending the workshop.  The Russian workshop is
supported by a grant to Bryn Mawr College and ACTR from the National
Security Education Program (NSEP).

Interested high school teachers should contact:
Maria Lekic (lekic at americancouncils.org) or
Camelot Marshall (marshall at americancouncils.org)
Application Deadline: January 31, 2004
Space is limited.
