About Pre-AP

About Pre-APIntroduction to Pre-APEvery student deserves classroom opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. College Boarddeveloped Pre-AP to deliver on this simple premise. Pre-AP courses are designed to supportall students across varying levels of readiness. They are not honors or advanced courses.Participation in Pre-AP courses allows students to slow down and focus on the most essentialand relevant concepts and skills. Students have frequent opportunities to engage deeply withtexts, sources, and data as well as compelling higher-order questions and problems. AcrossPre-AP courses, students experience shared instructional practices and routines that helpthem develop and strengthen the important critical thinking skills they will need to employ inhigh school, college, and life. Students and teachers can see progress and opportunities forgrowth through varied classroom assessments that provide clear and meaningful feedback atkey checkpoints throughout each course.DEVELOPING THE PRE-AP COURSESPre-AP courses are carefully developed in partnership with experienced educators, includingmiddle school, high school, and college faculty. Pre-AP educator committees work closelywith College Board to ensure that the course resources define, illustrate, and measure grade-level-appropriate learning in a clear, accessible, and engaging way. College Board also gathersfeedback from a variety of stakeholders, including Pre-AP partner schools from across thenation who have participated in multiyear pilots of select courses. Data and feedback frompartner schools, educator committees, and advisory panels are carefully considered to ensurethat Pre-AP courses provide all students with grade-level-appropriate learning experiencesthat place them on a path to college and career readiness.PRE-AP EDUCATOR NETWORKSimilar to the way in which teachers of Advanced Placement (AP ) courses can becomemore deeply involved in the program by becoming AP Readers or workshop consultants, PreAP teachers also have opportunities to become active in their educator network. Each year,College Board expands and strengthens the Pre-AP National Faculty—the team of educatorswho facilitate Pre-AP Readiness Workshops and Pre-AP Summer Institutes. Pre-AP teacherscan also become curriculum and assessment contributors by working with College Board todesign, review, or pilot course resources.Course Guide 2021 College Board3Pre-AP World History and Geography

About Pre-APPre-AP Approach to Teaching and LearningPre-AP courses invite all students to learn, grow, and succeed through focused content,horizontally and vertically aligned instruction, and targeted assessments for learning. ThePre-AP approach to teaching and learning, as described below, is not overly complex, yet thecombined strength results in powerful and lasting benefits for both teachers and students.This is our theory of action.Horizontally andVertically AlignedInstructionShared Principles,Areas of FocusFocused ContentCourse Frameworks,Model LessonsTargeted Assessmentsand FeedbackLearning Checkpoints,Performance Tasks,Final ExamFOCUSED CONTENTPre-AP courses focus deeply on a limited number of concepts and skills with the broadestrelevance for high school coursework and college and career success. The course frameworkserves as the foundation of the course and defines these prioritized concepts and skills. Pre-AP model lessons and assessments are based directly on this focused framework. The coursedesign provides students and teachers with intentional permission to slow down and focus.HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY ALIGNED INSTRUCTIONShared principles cut across all Pre-AP courses and disciplines. Each course is also alignedto discipline-specific areas of focus that prioritize the critical reasoning skills and practicescentral to that discipline.Course Guide 2021 College Board5Pre-AP World History and Geography

About Pre-APPre-AP Approach to Teaching and LearningSHARED PRINCIPLESAll Pre-AP courses share the following set of research-supported instructional principles.Classrooms that regularly focus on these cross-disciplinary principles allow students toeffectively extend their content knowledge while strengthening their critical thinking skills.When students are enrolled in multiple Pre-AP courses, the horizontal alignment of the sharedprinciples provides students and teachers across disciplines with a shared language fortheir learning and investigation, and multiple opportunities to practice and grow. The criticalreasoning and problem-solving tools students develop through these shared principles arehighly valued in college coursework and in the workplace.Close Observationand ngSHAREDPRINCIPLESAcademicConversationCLOSE OBSERVATION AND ANALYSISStudents are provided time to carefully observe one data set, text, image, performance piece,or problem before being asked to explain, analyze, or evaluate. This creates a safe entrypoint to simply express what they notice and what they wonder. It also encourages studentsto slow down and capture relevant details with intentionality to support more meaningfulanalysis, rather than rushing to completion at the expense of understanding.HIGHER-ORDER QUESTIONINGStudents engage with questions designed to encourage thinking that is elevated beyondsimple memorization and recall. Higher-order questions require students to make predictions,synthesize, evaluate, and compare. As students grapple with these questions, they learn thatbeing inquisitive promotes extended thinking and leads to deeper understanding.EVIDENCE-BASED WRITINGWith strategic support, students frequently engage in writing coherent arguments fromrelevant and valid sources of evidence. Pre-AP courses embrace a purposeful and scaffoldedapproach to writing that begins with a focus on precise and effective sentences beforeprogressing to longer forms of writing.Pre-AP World History and Geography6Course Guide 2021 College Board

About Pre-APPre-AP Approach to Teaching and LearningACADEMIC CONVERSATIONThrough peer-to-peer dialogue, students’ ideas are explored, challenged, and refined. Asstudents engage in academic conversation, they come to see the value in being open tonew ideas and modifying their own ideas based on new information. Students grow as theyfrequently practice this type of respectful dialogue and critique and learn to recognize that allvoices, including their own, deserve to be heard.AREAS OF FOCUSThe areas of focus are discipline-specific reasoning skills that students develop and leverageas they engage with content. Whereas the shared principles promote horizontal alignmentacross disciplines, the areas of focus provide vertical alignment within a discipline, givingstudents the opportunity to strengthen and deepen their work with these skills in subsequentSocial StudiesScienceMathematicsEnglishArtscourses in the same discipline.Areas of FocusAlign Vertically Within Disciplines(Grades 6-12)Academic ConversationHigher-Order QuestioningEvidence-Based WritingClose Observation and AnalysisShared PrinciplesAlign Horizontally Across All CoursesFor a detailed description of the Pre-AP World History and Geography areas of focus, seepage 11.TARGETED ASSESSMENTS FOR LEARNINGPre-AP courses include strategically designed classroom assessments that serve as toolsfor understanding progress and identifying areas that need more support.

About Pre-APPre-AP Professional LearningThe summer before their first year teaching a Pre-AP course, teachers are required to engagein professional learning offered by the College Board. There are two options to meet thisrequirement: the Pre-AP Summer Institute (Pre-APSI) and the Online Foundational ModuleSeries. Both options provide continuing education units to educators who complete thetraining. The Pre-AP Summer Institute is a four-day collaborative experience that empowersparticipants to prepare and plan for their Pre-AP course. While attending, teachers engagewith Pre-AP course frameworks, shared principles, areas of focus, and sample modellessons. Participants are given supportive planning time where they work with peers tobegin to build their Pre-AP course plan. The Online Foundational Module Series will be available beginning July 2020 to allteachers of Pre-AP courses. These 12- to 20-hour courses will support teachers inpreparing for their Pre-AP course. Teachers will explore course materials and experiencemodel lessons from the student’s point of view. They will also begin to plan and build theirown course materials, so they are ready on day one of instruction.Pre-AP teachers also have access to the Online Performance Task Scoring Modules, whichoffer guidance and practice applying Pre-AP scoring guidelines to student work.Pre-AP World History and Geography8Course Guide 2021 College Board
