Online 2026 Workshops | Week 1 | June 22-25
The workshop sessions are small, averaging fewer than 15 participants. Each session is designed to meet the needs of the individual participants to ensure that each teacher returns to the classroom with increased confidence and strategies for success.
Our online workshops run 4 days, Monday through Thursday.
Our consultants are experienced AP teachers with outstanding reputations in public and private schools. Many serve, or have served, as readers at their respective AP readings and are endorsed by the College Board to lead AP workshops. Many of our consultants are also table leaders and members of their respective course’s test development committee.
Register for an online workshop the week of June 22-25
AP Psychology
Instructor: George Jackson
During this AP Psychology APSI, you’ll explore the course framework, the exam, and the new AP resources that will help you plan and focus instruction—and give you feedback throughout the year on the areas where individual students need additional focus. You’ll also learn about completing the digital activation process at the start of the school year that will give you immediate access to the new resources and will help ensure that your students can register for AP Exams by the new fall deadlines. By attending this APSI, you’ll gain deeper insight into the following key takeaways, among several others: Understand the Course; Plan the Course; Teach the Course; Assess Student Progress; and Engage as a Member of the AP Community. In addition, specific attention will be paid to the following AP Classroom resources: unit guides, personal progress checks, AP teacher community, and the AP question bank.
AP Statistics
Instructor: Laura Marshall
AP Statistics is an incredibly fun course to teach – if you have the tools and fun activities from which to draw upon. We will accomplish much together – even in this online environment. The first goal of the week is to examine the College Board’s newly revised Curriculum and Exam Description (CED), review AP Classroom, discuss the course expectations, discuss equity and access, and share strategies for success on the AP exam. Additionally, we will review and clarify important concepts in statistics, and provide guidance and answer questions about the subject matter. Most importantly, we will work through the curriculum by doing problems and talking through activities that you can bring directly to your classroom. These activities are designed to improve students’ conceptual understanding when introducing a new idea, and also to reinforce concepts throughout the entire curriculum. You will learn how your students’ responses are scored on the AP exam and how you can use the AP rubrics to score responses of your own students. Not only will you become more comfortable with the topics in AP Statistics, but you will take away ideas to help enhance the learning of your students and subsequently help them to improve their scores on the AP exam.
This week will be virtual. There will be breaks and many opportunities to be in break out rooms with one another to collaborate. I will assign some homework each night and will use the TI-84 calculator for demonstration. We will work hard over the course of the week, but you will leave feeling so much better prepared to teach this class and along the way we will have some fun and a few laughs. Hope to see you!
AP Seminar
Instructor: Tom Beard
AP Seminar: This week-long workshop prepares teachers to effectively teach AP Seminar, a course focused on critical thinking, academic research, collaboration, and communication. Participants will experience the course from a student’s perspective while learning how to design lessons that build skills in inquiry, analysis, and evidence-based argument. Through interactive sessions, teachers will explore the College Board framework, scoring rubrics, and performance tasks, leaving with practical strategies and resources to confidently launch and sustain a successful AP Seminar program. After 31 years in education, I can confidently say this is the best class I’ve ever taught, and I’m excited to share why.
