But are they getting a real college education? This book shows how the AP program originally aimed to replicate the liberal arts experience for bright students, but over time became a testing behemoth and marker of student status"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "How the College Board's emphasis on standardized testing has led the AP program astray.Every year, millions of students take Advanced Placement (AP) exams hoping to score enough points to earn college credit and save on their tuition bill. But are they getting a real college education? The College Board says that AP classes and exams make the AP program more accessible and represent a step forward for educational justice. But the program's commitment to standardized testing no longer reflects its original promise of delivering meaningful college-level curriculum to high school students. In Shortchanged, Annie Abrams, education scholar and high school English teacher, uncovers the political and pedagogical traditions that led to the program's development in the 1950s. In revealing the founders' intentions of aligning liberal arts education across high schools and colleges in ways they believed would protect democracy, Abrams questions the collateral damage caused by moving away from this vision. The AP program is the College Board's greatest source of revenue, yet its financial success belies the founding principles it has abandoned. Instead of arguing for a wholesale restoration of the program, Shortchanged considers the nation's contemporary needs. Abrams argues for broader access to the liberal arts through robust public funding of secondary and higher education and a dismantling of the standardized testing regime. Shortchanged illuminates a better way to offer a quality liberal arts education to high school students while preparing them for college"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Advanced placement programs (Education) $x History. 610 20 $a College Entrance Examination Board $x History. 650 0 $a Democracy and education $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Secondary $x Aims and objectives $z United States. 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Schools / Levels / Secondary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Evaluation & Assessment. $2 bisacsh 610 27 $a College Entrance Examination Board. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528914 650 7 $a Advanced placement programs (Education) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00797420 650 7 $a Democracy and education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01743484 650 7 $a Education, Secondary $x Aims and objectives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903256 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781421446301 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021032026.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230601010148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A3728A56004111EEBB5E2E0C29ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
