[quote=Anonymous]As others note -- for the challenge. I would add: We recently heard a very good presentation (at a middle school, for rising 7th graders' parents) about how teachers taught differently for different groups. For instance, in a general ed history class, the student might have to write a biographical research paper of a certain length. In honors class, a student would do the same but would be expected to write a longer, more detailed paper with more sources. And in AAP, the student would do all the above, but also be expected to write to a theme of "How would this historical figure handle one of today's problems" -- such as, how would Teddy Roosevelt respond to the Arab Spring, for instance (that example is mine). You can see the difference -- the curriculum is the same; the level of depth and expectation is not. I found that and other examples very helpful in understanding what the differences are between general ed, honors and AAP. [/quote]
