Advanced placement focus of summer
institutes
The
Department of Education invites public school teachers to attend
Advanced Placement (AP) Institutes during the summer of 2006. AP
Institutes are weeklong workshops in which teachers of a
specific subject area come together to learn, in detail, about
teaching an AP course. Participating teachers will be paid a $50
per-day stipend and reimbursed for room and board.
Teachers who participate in an AP Institute will receive help in
understanding content, choosing texts and supplementary
materials, and identifying contacts that can help them as they
teach their specific AP course.
A list of AP Institutes, including contacts, appears below. In
addition to enrolling in the AP Institute, participants must
complete a registration form with the Department of Education,
in order to ensure payment of stipend and room-and-board
reimbursement.

To participate in this program, teachers should follow these
steps:
-
Enroll
in the AP Institute with the appropriate institution and pay
all appropriate fees.
-
Complete and return a course registration authorization to:
Michelle Mehlberg, Department of Education,
700
Governors Drive,
Pierre, SD 57501. Request a form by e-mailing
michelle.mehlberg@state.sd.us.
-
Upon
receipt of the course registration form, an award letter
will be sent to the participant’s school, along with
documents that must be filed with the Department of
Education.
Upon
completion of all five days of the AP Institute, the teacher
must provide the school business manager with a housing bill and
bills for meals. The school business manager must submit all
documentation to the Department of Education prior to Aug. 1 for
payment. Any documents submitted after this date will not be
accepted.
Teachers who want to take the AP Institute for credit will pay
tuition and fees at the FY07 rates to be approved by the Board
of Regents during its March meeting. The rates will be available
after the meeting and will be available on the Board of Regents
Web site (www.sdbor.edu).
Teachers who do NOT want credit pay a materials charge. The 2006
materials charge also will be approved in March. Teachers will
be responsible for course tuition and fees if they want academic
credit, or for the materials fee if they do not want academic
credit.
