Background:
The adoption of high school Advanced Placement (AP) Social Studies curriculum is a subcategory of the 9-12 Social Studies adoption. Non AP social studies curriculum will come to the Board for adoption this spring. The process for recommending AP courses is shorter than the process for non AP courses. The AP course process is governed by the requirements and guidelines from the College Board. This process will be explained at the Board meeting. Committee members for the AP adoption are typically teachers of Advanced Placement courses. This proposal comes with the endorsement from the Instructional Materials Committee (IMC) that the adoption process for this proposal has met all requirements of Board Policy 2020 and Procedure 2020P.
