AP Summer Institutes for World Languages
College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Summer Institutes offer professional learning for new and experienced AP educators. Attendees engage in 30+ hours of training with ready-to-use strategies and pedagogical tools shared by an experienced educator within the AP community.
A list of AP Summer Institutes for World Languages is included on the K-20 Professional Development page on the FLANC website. This compilation for North Carolina teachers has mostly online offerings, with broadcast times in the Eastern US time zone, but also in-person institutes across the Southeast. AP Summer Institutes are available for all AP World Language courses (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature) through the first week of August, and registration deadlines are several weeks before that.
Additional information about North Carolina's AP initiatives, including how exam fees are funded for all NC public high school students, is posted on the AP page as part of NCDPI's Advanced Coursework.

The Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University has shared that applications for the Haiti Teacher Fellows Program are due on Friday, July 9.
The Haiti Teacher Fellows Program is a funded, year-long fellowship for high school teachers during the 2021-2022 school year. This program aims to enhance teacher expertise in the history and understanding of Haiti, as well as to provide opportunities for teachers to collaborate on developing curriculum and materials about the Caribbean country. Topics may include the Haitian revolution, Haitian history and culture, the 2010 earthquake, and Haitian migration to North Carolina.
The program is open to teachers of all subjects and is highly recommended for French, English Language Arts, History/Social Studies, and Latin American Studies educators. Priority will be given to teachers from North Carolina and the Southeast U.S., particularly from rural areas and/or Title I schools.
