[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone speak to actual curriculum differences outside of math?[/quote]

Are you looking for a side-by-side matrix? I do not think one exists as each teacher selects materials to address the Program of Studies requirements.

As an example, this is a link to the curriculum and resources for 3rd grade AAP:
http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/pdfs/famework/Grade3.pdf

Just looking at a single section -- social studies with a focus on Ancient China and Ancient Egypt -- one resource is available from Kendall Hunt for the William & Mary Social Studies units.

Ancient China and Ancient Egypt are covered for all of Grade 3, per the FCPS Program of Studies:
http://www.fcps.edu/is/pos/documents/es/ss3.htm

A quick Google search shows a description of the William & Mary materials used in AAP:
https://education.wm.edu/centers/cfge/curriculum/socialstudies/materials/index.php

But this is just one example.

[b]Our AAP school did not use the William and Mary materials for social studies.[/b] Anyone else or are we the only school that didn't use them?[/quote]

It is not a [b]requirement[/b] to use every resource listed.[/quote]

True. We are not sure though of any differences between general ed and AAP.[/quote]

Impossible to be "sure" as it depends on the classroom teacher, the school, the particular year, the make-up of kids in the class, etc.[/quote]

OP is asking if there is any difference. Regardless of the school, are there any differences across the board or typical differences that many schools share?[/quote]
