Jay Matthews reports in the Washington Post today that AP tests are being redesigned to move away from fact-based content tests to tests of mastery of concepts. http://www.washingtonpost.com/
The first test to be changed is Biology. Necessarily high school curriculum will be adjusted. …and perhaps how colleges treat AP credit depending on their preference for students to have a strong fact base.
A voice tells me I don’t like “The College Board” (whoever they are) driving education decisions. Is the tail wagging the dog?..once again.
