Teaching is at the heart of the Global Teaching Project’s mission.

Supervisory Instructors—experienced, in-state, AP-certified teachers—are critical to the Global Teaching …

Happy New Year! A year ago, no one could foresee the trials that 2020 brought. However, the extraordinary response of our students, teachers, tutors, and administrators was entirely predictable, because their character already had been evident. We are extremely proud of their hard work and commitment. We cannot choose our circumstances, but we can choose how to respond. It is natural to become disheartened in the face of adversity. To summon the resolve to overcome that adversity is the essence …

AJ Tutor and Rylee Chisholm, currently seniors at South Pontotoc (MS) High School, took on that challenge—during a pandemic—and excelled. Both not only earned qualifying scores on the AP Physics …
