[quote=Anonymous]These two articles describe the genesis of AP Precalculus: https://newsroom.collegeboard.org/new-ap-precalculus-course-will-expand-access-stem-majors-and-careers https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/a-new-ap-precalculus-course-aims-to-diversify-the-math-pipeline/2022/05 They describe how AP Precalculus was designed to open up opportunities for students taking Algebra 1 in 9th grade who might not otherwise have access to AP math. One advisory panel member warned districts about setting up barriers (i.e. prerequisites) to AP Precalculus which would defeat the purpose of the course's creation. This raises the question as to why districts may be thinking to implement AP Precalculus in such a different manner (i.e. as a proxy for honors PreCalc Trig with prerequisites) than what was envisioned by the course's creators. Down the road, will districts ultimately shift their approach back toward the original goal and open up AP Precalculus for all?[/quote]
