Our Advanced Placement Summer Institute (APSI) is designed for both new and experienced teachers. Teachers participating in an APSI will:

• explore the course framework and exam.
• create effective lesson plans.
• learn to adjust the course pacing for optimal student success.
• gain access to AP classroom resources such as unit guides, AP teacher community, and the AP question bank.
• apply scoring guidelines from the most recent AP exam to student work.
• engage in lively and meaningful discussions with fellow teachers from across the country.

Step 3

Within 2-3 business days, your registration will be reviewed and approved. You will receive an email confirming the details of your registration.

Step 4

In the weeks before the start of the APSI week, you will receive Goucher credentials. Your credentials grant you access to Teams, Canvas (our learning management system), and a student email account.

Prepare for the APSI week. For in-person weeks, you will receive more information about arriving on campus and what to expect in the weeks leading to the in-person APSI week. For online weeks, you may expect an initial email from the AP consultant facilitating the course about the schedule, expectations, and a survey about your knowledge and experiences.
