Pre-AP Summer Institutes for Teachers

Learn about our Pre-AP Summer Institutes and how to register.

Register for Professional Learning

Pre-AP Summer Institutes provide the most comprehensive professional learning available for new Pre-AP teachers, and completion of the institutes fulfills the first part of the professional learning commitment. These institutes empower participants to prepare and plan to teach their Pre-AP course, so they’re ready on day one of instruction. Participants gain new skills and insights with a supportive peer network and expert National Faculty, while developing connections within the Pre-AP community. CEUs are granted upon completion of the institutes.

Institute Objectives
