Background:

The adoption of high school Advanced Placement (AP) Science curriculum is a subcategory of the 6-12 Science adoption. Non AP science 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.

 

The list of recommended curriculum for high school advanced placement science courses follows:

 

AP Biology:

Biology for the AP Course, BFW 2022. 

 

AP Chemistry: 

Chemistry An Atoms Focused Approach, WW Norton 2020

 

AP Environmental Science:
