Committee on Programs for Advanced Study of Mathematics and Science in American High Schools
A committee of experts will undertake a comprehensive 30-month study of programs for the advanced study of mathematics and science in American high schools. Convened under the auspices of the Board on Testing and Assessment, it will explore the current status of high school mathematics and science education by means of an in-depth look at programs designed for advanced students, such as the Advanced Placement (AP) program and the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The committee will focus on three subjects, namely, biology, physics, and calculus, as it examines questions of learning goals, content, pedagogy, teacher preparation, and assessment.
