[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In AAP there is some standard curriculum material but not in general ed[/quote]

This is not true.

Fairfax County has a "Program of Studies," which has standards that are essential or expected, and extensions that are expected to be taught in honors and AAP. There is not, however, a standard curriculum for either general education or AAP.  There are standards and benchmarks, but no curriculum.[/quote]

I wrote the above quote and what I meant by it is that AAP for each grade has a list of recommended materials for each school to buy to use in the AAP program. General Ed is a free for all in terms of what teachers may use as materials. I was talking about materials (workbooks), not standards.[/quote]

This is still not true.  I teach AAP and must find/develop ALL the curricula on my own, based on the FCPS POS.  Standard workbooks/materials are neither recommended nor provided to me as a teacher.

I collaborate with other AAP teachers throughout the county, and the same is true for them, as well.  We share ideas with one another, but that is as close as we get to a "list of recommended materials."

Perhaps some areas/pyramids have a list of recommended materials, but that is certainly not the case across the county.
