During July 2008, six teachers took part in an Advanced Placement Human Geography workshop at the Taft Educational Center in Watertown. CGA Teacher Consultant and APHG teacher Kenneth Keller led the workshop. APHG is now in its ninth year as an Advanced Placement course. Approximately 40,000 students took the APHG exam last spring throughout the United States and Canada, a significant increase of 7500 over the 2007 number of exams administered. A similar workshop will be held at the Taft Educational Center during the summer of 2009. Tuition scholarships from the CGA will be available to interested Connecticut teachers whose schools plan to offer the course within two years from the time they participate in the workshop. Contact CGA co-coordinator Tom Lewis (Tlewis6895@aol.com) for details. Additional information regarding the workshop, tuition, and registration (once available) will be found at www.taftschool.org/tec/workshops.
