We are experiencing the growing pain...Hello David,<br /><br />We are experiencing the growing pains of this issue at our school and school district. We currently have a physics honors 1 course which is the prerequisite for the current AP Physics B class. My daughter is a sophomore who is registering for the junior year classes and my school and district have not made a policy decision yet about the direction they will take. I personally like the idea of incorporating the AP Physics 1 content into the honors course and then allowing that group of students to take the AP Physics 2 in fall 2014. They will have the AP Physics 1 content but not the official name of the course on the transcript. In May 2015, they could conceivably sit for both exams. I would like to share your blog post with my school curriculum director to see what they think. Since this post was made back n July 2011, I wondered how your students performed? What other suggestions do you have based on the information the College Board has released "officially" about the new curricula?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207507940133182934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088860151651047897.post-74128320291544224592011-09-09T21:04:24.152-04:002011-09-09T21:04:24.152-04:00Hi,

Our school is only in its second year of offering physics at all and while I've been benchmarking the AP B for topic selection (I'm aiming for an honors-level, but not-yet-AP course), I've found it too broad for much depth- sounds like I'm not the only one!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm sure I can get my hands on a can of Skyline chili around here somewhere... And I'd be happy to share test results, etc.<br /><br />Let me know at cbudge@ahsmail.com<br /><br />Thanks!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840915561018852056noreply@blogger.com
