About the Advanced Placement Summer Institute (APSI)

APSIs are College Board-endorsed professional learning experiences designed to support teachers preparing to teach or currently teaching AP Cybersecurity.

Each APSI provides 30 hours of interactive professional learning led by experienced College Board facilitators. Participants deepen their understanding of AP course frameworks, strengthen instructional design, and explore strategies that connect AP content with real-world, career-connected applications. Teachers will engage in collaborative, active, hands-on learning throughout the institute.

What to Expect

Over four days, participants will:

• Explore course structure through guided unit unpacking, digging into what each unit covers while examining the goals, key concepts, and teaching strategies within each one.
• Engage in model lessons and instructional activities that teachers can adapt and implement in their own classrooms.
• Collaborate with peers and facilitators to reflect on instructional approaches and consider ways to apply new strategies in their local contexts.
• Plan next steps for applying insights from the institute to their own teaching practice.

Note: APSI participation does not include access to a full curriculum or daily lesson plans. Instead, participants will explore available instructional resources, frameworks, and sample materials that support their own course design.

Who Should Attend

These APSIs are ideal for:

• Educators preparing to teach AP Cybersecurity for the first time.
• Returning AP Cybersecurity teachers seeking updated content, strategies, and peer collaboration.
• Teachers interested in emphasizing practical, career-connected learning within AP instruction.
