MASS INSIGHT: 2026 AP SUMMER INSTITUTE (ONLINE) (JULY 20 - JULY 23, 2026)

What our past teacher participants are saying: 

• “Professional development is often times - and for many good reasons - designed to address the needs of new or emerging teachers and may not be content focused. The AP trainings...by Mass Insight are the best of my over twenty-year teaching career. I return from them feeling as if I have just been gifted - with materials and inspiration and power.” - Anne S., Excel High School
• “Over the past seven years, the professional development and support provided by Mass Insight have been the best in my nineteen year career as an English teacher.” - Christopher R., Ludlow High School
• “The professional development offered through Mass Insight has been the best I have ever received, and I have been teaching for over 20 years.” - Charles C., Ludlow High School
• “As a teacher and a mom, I know without a doubt that I was able to help my students and my own children because of the excellent training Mass Insight provides every year.” - Elisa L., Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School
• “The summer institute was phenomenal. I learned so much and met some really great colleagues who were more than willing to share their expertise.” - Crystal D., Granby Junior Senior High School
• “In short, I have learned far more about acquiring effective content, curriculum mapping, pedagogy, practical instruction, and assessment than I did in college - including graduate school - or any other type of professional development in my 14 years of teaching.” - Nicholas B., Quaboag Regional Middle High School
• “Mass Insight has provided some of the best professional development I have experienced in 24 years of teaching. The materials and training I have received have made me a more effective teacher of literature and rhetoric.” - Jennifer B., Granby Junior Senior High School
