Goals of Course Revisions

Revisions to AP courses promote rigorous curricula that reflect current advances in teaching and learning at the college level, with AP Exams that assess both content and skills. History and science revisions focus on reducing scope, freeing teachers to develop their students’ critical thinking skills and cognitive strategies. Revisions to world languages concentrate on incorporating thematic units and developing skills through the three modes of communication. Course revisions also support the following goals:

• Provide curricula that focus on discipline-specific content and skills.
• Spell out the connection between the revised course and its corresponding exam.
• Enable teachers to better meet the needs of diverse student populations.
• Qualify AP students for credit or advanced placement at colleges and universities.
• Continue to reflect best practices used by AP teachers.
