John Cabot University Advanced Placement* 
Summer Institutes (APSI) in Art History

Session I: July 6-10, 2015
Session II: July 13-17, 2015


Greetings from Rome! John Cabot University cordially invites all AP Art History teachers to our campus in the heart of Rome, Italy for a unique professional development opportunity.

Course Description
This is an exciting time for new and experienced AP Art History teachers as we prepare for the Fall 2015 course redesign. Participants of the JCU APSI will examine the new College Board Curriculum Framework including the crucial Big Ideas, Guiding Questions, and Enduring Understanding and Essential Knowledge statements. Topics of discussion will include syllabi, online and text resources, research methodology, and assessments. We will analyze various options for organizing the course including chronological, geographic, and/or thematic groupings and we will also take a look at assessments and the new AP exam format.

The session will be presented via a variety of methods including illustrated discussions, group work, peer presentations, digital handouts, and engagement with works in the new Curriculum Framework onsite in Rome’s world class museums, monuments, churches, and archaeological sites.
