Board hears first readings of AP textbook updates and curriculum revisions in biology, ELD and theater arts
Summary
The board took first readings of new AP textbooks (AP Environmental Science, AP World History) and curriculum revisions in biology (lab updates), ELD (increased rigor/supports for reclassification) and theater arts; materials will return for adoption next month.
Dr. Martin Casas presented first readings of instructional materials: new editions for AP Environmental Science and AP World History and curriculum revisions for biology (to meet updated UC/CSU lab requirements), ELD (increased rigor and supports intended to help long-term English learners reclassify), and theater arts (alignment to new California arts standards).
Casas explained AP textbooks must be updated every 10 years to preserve College Board designation; the materials have passed the district's adoption process (piloting and subject-area review) and will be available for public preview at school offices. The board had no objections and the items will return next month for final adoption votes.
