AP考试和课程成绩
AP考试, 每年5月, are standardized tests designed to measure how well students have mastered the content and skills of a specific AP course.
AP testing is highly encouraged, but not required. Per College Board, AP courses offer the opportunity to study a subject in-depth at the college level. This better prepares students for college work. If the student receives a high enough score on an AP exam, 该学生可能有资格获得学分, advanced placement or both at most colleges in the United States.
Teachers of AP courses may not attach final course grades based on a student’s willingness and/or ability to take the AP exam. This practice is contrary to SPS Racial Equity Policy #0030, which must ensure educational and racial equity for every student in each of our schools.
Providing incentives to attempt the AP exam is acceptable as long as it supports a culturally responsive approach to teaching and supports the SPS Racial Equity Policy #0030. 读了 Ensuring Educational and Racial Equity School Board Policy #0030
Services for Students with Disabilities Accommodations
Students that are eligible for Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Accommodations must work with the school’s SSD coordinator to complete the required paperwork to receive approval from College Board.
It takes several weeks for College Board to process these requests, so paperwork must be submitted by SSD coordinators as soon as students enroll in the AP course. 开始这个过程, students and families must communicate with their IEP case manager or the school counselor to communicate the need for the SSD accommodation for the AP exam.
后期的测试
SPS 高中s offering AP courses and exams may need to offer late exams, 虽然晚考的例外情况很少见, (全区少于1%). The College Board publishes a list of approved circumstances that will not incur a late testing fee, 然而, late testing at SPS is typically reserved for high school seniors that do not have the option to take their AP exam the following school year. 读了 late-testing policies on the College Board website.
The team of AP testing coordinators will work collaboratively to determine which exams can be offered districtwide based on capacity and need. SPS may not be able to offer late exams for all AP courses or for all requests.
