Chattanooga APSI PBL Online Week #2 (June 29 - July 2, 2026)
The Chattanooga AP Summer Institute hosted by University of Tennessee Chattanooga provides teachers, new and experienced, with rewarding professional development. You will develop course goals and learn new strategies to ensure student success.
Our Consultants
Our online courses are facilitated by College Board-endorsed lead consultants. Our instructors have been recognized for their talents as many serve as AP exam readers as well as receipts of regional and national teaching awards.
APSI Schedule
Sessions will meet online Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. CST. Synchronous and asynchronous instruction will be determined and communicated by instructor. Individual course schedules will vary.
Bring PBL to Your Classroom
The AP Project Based Learning Series helps AP teachers implement an engaging and student centered project based instructional approach in their classrooms. The projects in the series drive student learning of content and skills outlined in the AP course framework.
The AP Project Based Learning Series will help you:
- Identify how AP content and skills are developed within and across the course projects.
- Apply high-quality PBL design elements and teaching practices.
- Simulate and model PBL practices using examples from the course projects.
- Adapt and prepare to implement the projects with your students.
Academic Year Support Included in the AP Project Based Learning Series
The AP Project Based Learning Series provides the opportunity to attend professional learning throughout the school year. The series includes:
- Project Implementation Guides that provide adaptable course planning and pacing, recommended assessments and assignments that encompass the entirety of the course.
- 4 days of online professional learning during the AP Summer Institute (30 hours), including access to project implementation guides and instructional materials.
- 5 optional online, 90-minute support sessions on evenings during the school year. You’ll be able to choose from several dates and times for each of these sessions.
You can receive continuing education units (CEUs) for attending the AP Summer Institute and may receive additional CEUs for attending support sessions throughout the year.
