AP® Biology Summer Institute In Person (Project-Based Learning Focus)
We look forward to welcoming you to the Hawai‘i AP® Biology Project-Based Learning (PBL) Summer Institute!
During the institute, you will explore Project Implementation Guides that offer flexible course planning and pacing, along with recommended assessments and assignments designed to support student learning throughout the AP Biology course.
The four-day workshop includes project simulations, large group discussions, small group activities, reflection and critique, and individual learning. During the Summer Institute, you will:
Identify how students learn AP content and skills through course projects.
Understand and 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.
Support Sessions: Five optional online support sessions are offered throughout the academic year. These sessions will provide support and learning opportunities before the beginning of each project. In these support sessions, you will:
Reflect on prior project work to identify needs for future project implementation.
Review and adapt the upcoming project to best serve your students.
Refine your PBL practice within the context of a project-based AP course.
Once again, thank you for choosing to be a part of the Hawaii APSI, June 7-10, 2027 at Waipahu HS. We look forward to seeing you soon in Honolulu and to embark on a great educational adventure together.
Mahalo!
