  • The College Board today announced the release of redesigned AP programs for U.S. history and physics, with a focus on reducing the amount of content coverage required to allow more time for studying key concepts in greater depth. Schools will offer the revised courses starting in fall 2014.
  • The emphasis on covering less material in greater depth surely rings a bell with lots of this blog's readers, given that this is a core mantra these days, emphasized, for example, in the Common Core State Standards in mathematics, as well as the common science standards now being developed by a coalition of states and others.
  • Topics covered in Physics 1 include Newtonian mechanics; work, energy, and power; and mechanical waves and sounds. Physics 2 covers fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and atomic and nuclear physics.

  • As for U.S. history, the key objectives of the changes include: • Alignment with evolving U.S. history curriculum at the nation's top colleges and universities; • Providing teachers and students flexibility to focus on specific historical topics, events, and issues in greater depth; and • Increasing student practice of historical thinking skills as central to understanding history.
