The one week four day workshops are offered on the University of Tulsa campus. The tuition includes instruction and materials, light breakfast, break refreshments, lunch and a reception. It also includes double occupancy accommodations at a luxury hotel to participants who live more than 40 miles from Tulsa. The Oklahoma State Department of Education offers state funding for Certified Oklahoma Public School teachers.
Courses for NEW teachers are designed for teachers with less than three years’ experience teaching the AP* or Pre-AP* subject or those recently assigned to teach the course.
