SHS joins Cohort 14 of the Advanced Placement Teacher Investment Program

In July, Shelbyville High School will join six other high schools across the state of Indiana in Cohort 14 of the Advanced Placement Teacher Investment Program (AP-TIP).

The other schools are Chesterton, Calumet New Tech, Decatur Central, Switzerland County, South Central, and Terre Haute North.

Since 2012, Indiana high schools have used their partnership with AP-TIP to increase enrollment and success in AP classes:

On average, enrollment of all students in AP math, science, and English courses increased by 49%, enrollment of traditionally under-represented students increased by 93%, and enrollment of female students in AP math and science subjects increased by 53%.

On average, the total number of AP math, science, and English qualifying exam scores increased by 65%, 90% for traditionally under-represented students, and 62% for female students in AP math and science subjects.

Cohort 14 is now the second AP-TIP cohort to welcome both AP and Dual Credit teachers, underscoring the program’s commitment to high-quality teaching and learning for all.

Across three years of cohort membership, AP and Dual Credit math, science, and English teachers at Shelbyville High School will receive fully-funded access to a wide array of instructional resources and professional events.

Advanced Placement Teacher Investment Program

AP-TIP is a non-profit program of the Institute for Educational Initiatives and the Center for STEM Education at the University of Notre Dame dedicated to improving students' college and career readiness.

Because AP-TIP believes that all young people deserve an education that prepares them for their own futures and empowers them to influence the communities in which they live, AP-TIP provides professional resources for AP and Dual Credit math, science, and English teachers committed to enhancing teaching and learning in advanced courses.
