Social Events

For your enjoyment, we will have social events scheduled for several evenings. The first event is participation in a Mountain Challenge low ropes course. This event is fun, challenging and very rewarding. Although the name sounds intimidating, those who participate have never been disappointed. Make sure you plan to participate in this challenging evening of fun and learning. Click here for more information about Mountain Challenge.

In addition to a low ropes course to help acquaint you with your fellow attendees, we will also schedule other activities. Details TBA.

 

Continuing Education Units

The Tennessee Department of Education recognizes continuing education units (CEU’s) earned at the Advanced Placement Summer Institute for teacher licensing renewal. Teachers with 100% attendance records at the AP Summer Institute may receive 3.0 CEU’s for participation in this week long workshop. Attendance at all class sessions is required for teachers to be awarded CEU credit. Participants from other states should check with their local systems about license renewal credit. Participants who attend 90% or more of the AP Summer Institute will receive a certificate of participation. Those who miss more than 10% will not be eligible to receive a certificate of participation.
