St. Vrain Valley Schools Hosts National AP Summer Institute at Erie High

St. Vrain Valley Schools recently hosted the College Board-certified Advanced Placement for All Summer Institute (APSI) at Erie High School, held July 7–10. The multi-day institute welcomed over 300 educators from across the country for in-depth professional learning focused on increasing student success in Advanced Placement courses.

New to this year’s event was the inaugural Colorado AP Teacher Award Reception, a celebration honoring the outstanding achievements of AP teachers across the state. Held in conjunction with the APSI, the reception also served as a platform for sharing best practices and fostering collaboration among AP educators.
