The Italy of Caesar and Vergil: A Workshop for Teachers
July 12-23, 2012

This 12 day workshop for high school Latin teachers will combine classroom sessions in successful pedagogical practices with fascinating and relevant site visits that illuminate the lives and works of Caesar and Vergil. Morning study sessions will provide ideas and skills to enrich both beginning and advanced courses, with a focus on the readings and abilities required by the revised Advanced Placement syllabus. Afternoon site and museum visits will contextualize the writings of our authors elucidating the common themes of Caesar's commentarii and Vergil's Aeneid. While new and veteran AP teachers stand to gain the most from this experience, all teachers are welcome.

Application deadline: Early registration (by March 15) is advised, to be certain of reaching the minimum number of participants required to ensure the tour can take place; registration deadline: April 30.
