Workshop Overview
The AP Physics 1 Summer Institute is designed to help teachers build the foundation for a successful AP Physics program.
Emphasis will be placed on the rigor of the material that students need to be successful on the AP Physics 1 exam. A significant amount of time will be spent addressing how AP Physics is an adjustment in not just what we teach, but how we teach.
Laboratory investigations will be incorporated throughout the workshop, with special emphasis on transitioning your laboratory into a guided inquiry-based program. We will also focus on the exam and how best to prepare your students for it. We will review the requirements for the course audit and the syllabus.
Time will be allotted for reviewing best practices and sharing 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.
