Additional Training Plan
School districts seeking to employ Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) and/or Advanced Placement (AP) teachers who have not attended the required College Board training will use the Additional Training Plan (ATP) to meet that requirement. School districts may use the ATP process to address situations when teachers are assigned to teach Pre-AP and/or AP courses and they have not attended the applicable required training of:
*Pre-AP Teachers – College Board sponsored or endorsed training institute
or workshop in the teacher’s content area
*AP Teachers - College Board Summer Institute
Teachers assigned to teach a Pre-AP and/or AP course must meet Arkansas Teacher Licensure requirements in the appropriate teaching area and must attend the appropriate required College Board training (outlined above).
Employing school district guidelines
· The employing district will file this complete ATP form with the Arkansas Department of Education Office of Gifted and Talented within 30 days of the teaching assignment.
