Congratulations on completing what is, by any measure, an intensive and rewarding professional development experience. I still remember my first year teaching AP World History — questions and challenges would come up throughout the year, and I’d find myself thinking back to the institute, trying to recall a specific strategy or piece of advice I had learned. Hence this blog.
Throughout the school year, this blog will provide organized access to the key instructional approaches, AP course content, and pedagogical strategies explored during the institute. Whether you are looking to revisit a specific historical thinking skill, review guidance on document-based question instruction, or reconnect with exam preparation strategies, this space will serve as a reliable point of reference.
Posts are organized by each day of the APSI. The titled sections should help you quickly locate the content you need and the linked resources we looked at during the week.
