“Any AP Psychology course taught in Florida will violate either Florida law or college requirements,” the board wrote in a lengthy statement Thursday that made national headlines.
Options are limited. If they keep AP Psych on schedules as required for college credit, instructors could run afoul of Florida law. If they skip the offending parts of instruction to remain compliant, they run afoul of College Board-required content that would prohibit students from earning college credit for the course.—seems more sound. Schools can adopt the AICE Psychology class instead, which is the version used in IB and Cambridge programs.
Make no mistake, this is a big deal. Students rely on AP classes for college credit that allow them to graduate high school with a dent in their college course requirements, something that saves Florida families a lot of money. AP courses are also something top-tier colleges look at when determining admission, meaning students who take an unrecognized, revised course may risk some valuable credits when applying for more competitive schools, such as an Ivy.
School administrators are facing an onslaught of emails and phone calls from worried and, in all likelihood, angry parents demanding to know how schools will ensure their child’s education is not degraded. Many parents, armed with information from the College Board that AICE Psychology may not provide college credit, will likely ask that their child be moved to a different class.
