This workshop is designed to offer teachers new to the Advanced Placement* World History course a sense of how to create challenging lessons, design a calendar and understand the broad requirements from the College Board* course description.  Experienced teachers may learn about revisions in this course, as well as share their successful teaching strategies and perspectives.  One goal of this workshop is to give teachers good judgment in the selection of  primary sources, a textbook and other materials used to enrich the world history classroom experience for students.  In addition to the course overview, teachers will learn or share methodology in student preparation for the specific types of essays required in Advanced Placement* World History.  The World History AP* course audit will also be discussed for schools interested in the implementation of this course.  If you are attending for course credit, project requirements will be described at the workshop.
