Some Observations on the Proposed Advanced Placement Curriculum in World History.

Andrea, Alfred J.

History Teacher, v32 n2 p297-303 Feb 1999

Discusses the proposed Advanced Placement (AP) world history curriculum. Argues against beginning the course at 1000 CE, stating that it should begin at the Axial Age (approximately 800 to 200 BCE) or earlier. Offers suggestions for constructing the proposed "Foundations" course introduction around six one-week units. (CMK)
