Narrative Sample
Principal Phil Fake: 201008
Aug 09, 2010
Teacher currently on staff is authorized to teach AP World History we will seek to guide
students to work within the classroom before attempting AP exams to gain benefit of
teacher guidance. Work with staff to see if a dedicated AP World History class can be
offered. As regards AP Chemistry, we will need to provide a better screening process to
insure students are sufficiently prepared for the curriculum.
Sally Pseudo: 201008
Aug 09, 2010
Current student thinking is that the AP World History exam is rather easy relative to
other exams and mostly requires committed reading. Past and current performance on
this exam does not bear this out. All sixteen of the enrolled AP US History students
elected to also take the AP World History. Fifteen of the sixteen did achieve the 3plus
score and the remaining nineteen takers were in Honors History curriculum.
Bill Bogus: 201008
Aug 09, 2010
Only 42% of the AP Chemistry exam takers were able to achieve a 3plus score. Teacher
assessment of the enrolled students was that several of the students did not have
sufficient mathematics preparation.
