Student says changes to rubric could affect AP courses; urges caution
Summary
A Watertown High junior told the curriculum committee that AP classes follow national standards and expressed concern about how local review processes could affect AP Language and Literature and future students.
Lila Turner, a junior at Watertown High School, told the curriculum committee she worries about how local changes will affect students in advanced courses tied to national AP standards.
"This is very important to me as it is going to affect not only me, but the generations after me," Turner said, noting she missed AP classes to attend the meeting and that AP exams follow national curricula. She asked the committee to be cautious about altering materials that influence AP instruction.
Committee members responded that AP-level materials are generally tied to national standards and suggested those courses be set aside during an early pilot; they emphasized the rubric is a draft and that teacher representatives will be part of any review process.
