AP Course Audit
now available
As scheduled,
the Advanced Placement Course Audit process has officially
opened. The AP Course Audit provides schools with clear
guidelines on the course content and resources typical of
college-level classes, and helps colleges and universities
better interpret courses marked “AP” on students’ transcripts.
Schools have until June 1, 2007, to submit materials as part of
the AP Course Audit. AP teachers can review course audit
information and resources available on AP Central at
http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/courseaudit. These
resources include:
ANNOTATED SYLLABI & SAMPLES OF EVIDENCE
Multiple samples of
evidence in each AP subject illustrate the variety of ways
curricular requirements can be met in a syllabus. Annotated
syllabi have been written by AP teachers who teach in the
public or private sector and by college professors who teach
the parallel college-level course. Collectively, these
syllabi illustrate a variety of ways a course can meet the
AP Course Audit curricular requirements.
AP COURSE AUDIT WEB SITE DEMO
This online demonstration
will help familiarize teachers and administrators with the
Web site through which teachers will submit their syllabi.
COURSE AUDIT MANUAL
This manual provides
teachers and school administrators with an overview of the
AP Course Audit and includes the curricular and resource
requirements for each AP course. Schools can also order free
copies from
http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/freepubs.
Schools
develop their own curriculum for courses labeled “AP.” The AP
Course Audit simply specifies core elements colleges and
universities expect to see within the curriculum developed for
college-level AP courses. |
