Course Overview
The AP BC Calculus Summer Institute is designed to help teachers build a strong and successful calculus course and AP Program. Emphasis will be placed on rigor of content required for students to be successful on the AP exam, focusing on BC topics, and available resources. The course audit, course syllabus requirements, and AP Classroom will all be reviewed during this APSI. Both new and experienced teachers will be given the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the BC course content as well as explore and create resources that can be used in their classrooms. Time will be allotted to share best practices and ideas as a group.

How Online Workshops Will Work
No one wants to sit and watch a 32-hour long webinar, so we are working closely with our consultants to develop a modified course schedule that allows you greater flexibility, but still gives you the knowledge and skills you need.
Live-online instruction will be conducted through Zoom while asynchronous learning assignments will be managed through Canvas, the University’s learning management system (LMS).
Once you register, we will provide you with more details on how to access the platforms as well as your materials.
