The Institutes are being hosted in response to requests from K- 12 leaders. The purpose of the institutes is to provide high school teachers with the content, teaching approaches, and information about the AP examinations needed to prepare their students to take the College Board's AP examinations. The institutes are supported in part with university Reinvestment Through Efficiencies resources. The Reinvestment Through Efficiencies plan calls for universities to be more efficient and innovative by redirecting financial and human resources to specific South Dakota higher education system- wide goals. One of those goals is increased collaboration with the public elementary and secondary schools. The various disciplines, their location, and date are as follows: Disciplines Locations Dates Calculus AB South Dakota State University, Brookings July 19- 23 Chemistry Northern State University, Aberdeen July 12- 16 Computer Science Center for Public Higher Education, Sioux Falls July 19- 23 English Literature & Composition South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Rapid City June 20- 24 Physics South Dakota State University, Brookings July 12- 16 United States History University of South Dakota, Vermillion July 25- 30 The Advanced Placement program is administered by the College Board. It offers high school students an opportunity to study courses that are equivalent to first- year college courses. Following instruction in special AP courses, in honors classes, or in extra independent study, the students can take examinations that demonstrate they have the knowledge and skills of comparable college courses. When students later enroll in a college or university that accepts AP credit, they can present their AP scores and receive credit for acceptable scores.
