You will receive extensive written evaluations of the three college essays you write during the program. In addition, we will provide a written evaluation of each student’s participation in the program. Six Carleton credit hours (which are equivalent to approximately three college semester hours) are awarded to participants who successfully complete the program. This credit does not count toward Carleton's writing requirement.

Carleton College has long upheld a tradition of providing equal opportunity to all people. The following nondiscrimination statement is stipulated in the Minnesota State Statutes: As required by state and federal law, Carleton College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, status with regard to public assistance, age, or disability in the providing employment or in its educational programs and activities.

Welcome to the 30th Carleton College Summer Teaching Institute. The Institute is designed for teachers of existing or proposed Advanced Placement Program*, enriched, or accelerated classes for students in grades 9 through 12 who are capable of college-level work. Since 1980 more than 4,000 teachers from over 550 schools nationwide have attended these week-long workshops.

Carleton faculty members who are experts in their field are paired with experienced AP* high school teachers in some of our courses. Since a one-week workshop cannot cover all the materials that are taught in a year-long AP* or similar course, our workshops instead provides an in-depth look at selected topics.

For the previous two years, we have successfully run a four-day institutes. We have decided to stay with this format for 2010 and are excited for the new courses we are offering.
