Re: AP US History Taught Over 2 Years

I wondered that too. It seems that a two year lock in to one course with t=
he same students loses some opportunity for other perspectives and other fo=
cuses. (I refuse to use the word foci, in this context)

How do you all justify taking two years, 5 days a week to cover what a coll=

We teach the AP Lit and Composition over a two year period and then
students take the exam.

I can only tell you that my 11th grader in the Pawling Central
School
District (NY) is taking the course in one year and will sit for the
exam in
June. Definitely a lot of work, but doable.

Subject: AP US History Taught Over 2 Years
Yesterday at a department meeting it was mentioned that many of they
schools
in our area teach AP US History over a 2 year period (NJ has a 2
year US
History graduation requirement). The students sit for the AP exam at
the
end of the 2nd year.
This is the first that I had heard of this so I thought I would
check with
the list. If you have AP US History at your school is it taught in
one or
two years?
Thanks for your input.
