College Board Readies Plans for AP Audits
Klein, Alyson
Education Week, v26 n13 p1, 16 Nov 2006
This article describes the educators mixed reviews regarding the audit system planned by the College Board to scrutinize high school Advanced Placement courses. Teachers of AP courses are required to submit materials to the College Board proving that their course syllabuses meet the program's curricular requirements. It is the most extensive scrutiny the program's New York City-based sponsor has ever undertaken of how AP courses are carried out. Some educators say the process will add rigor and relevance to their AP programs, while others worry it will just add up to busywork for teachers.
