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

!!! COVID-19 — SAFETY POLICIES AND PROTOCOLS !!!
As we all know, COVID-19 safety policies and protocols widely vary depending on the locality and/or entity (e.g., University, Organization, Business, etc.). While it is challenging to imagine what the conditions will be like this summer and it’s resulting policies and protocols for us here in Massachusetts, we wanted to share with you Bridgewater State University’s (BSU) current campus policies and our (Mass Insight [Mi]) current operating assumptions based on current data, conditions, and/or Government guidelines:
-
All persons participating and/or involved with the APSI are required to adhere to any and all Federal, State, and Local rules and regulations regarding COVID-19 that may be in place at the time of the APSI
-
All persons participating and/or involved with the APSI are encouraged to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to arriving on campus but will NOT be asked about their vaccination status
-
All persons participating and/or involved with the APSI are encouraged to wear a face mask while on campus if they are unvaccinated or if it is their personal preference regardless of vaccination status but it will NOT be a requirement
-
All persons participating and/or involved with the APSI are encouraged to monitor their own health while attending and stop participating if they become ill
-
All persons participating and/or involved with the APSI are encouraged to wash their hands and/or use hand sanitizer frequently
-
All persons participating and/or involved with the APSI will have access to meals and snacks via a traditional buffet-style setting
-
(As conditions continue to evolve, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to closely monitor the data and Government guidelines, which will ultimately determine the official policies and protocols for this APSI. The official policies and protocols for this APSI will be communicated to everyone about two weeks prior to the start of the event. We thank you again for your patience and understanding as we collectively re-approach in-person professional development workshops!)
