Bellevue AP® Summer Institute
The Bellevue Advanced Placement Summer Institute (APSI) consists of four days of professional development focused on improving student success in AP coursework. Sessions provide attendees with a toolbox of instructional strategies, student learning activities, fine-tuned lesson plans, and assessments. APSI provides a great opportunity for both middle and high school teachers to receive extra training and learn about upper-level course standards in specific subject areas, and provides instructional value to all secondary teachers.
This year Bellevue is hosting both an Online AP Summer Institute via Zoom and an In-Person Project Based Learning (PBL) offering at Newport High School.
