Advanced Placement® Higher Education Advisory Committee Holds Inaugural Meeting
 |
|
The newly formed Advanced Placement® Higher Education Advisory Committee held its first meeting last month in the College Board’s New York Office, beginning its work as a consultative panel for the
AP® Program.
The 15-member group, composed of college and university faculty, chief admissions officers, secondary school teachers and administrators, and legislative policy experts from around the country, will serve as an advisory panel to inform AP policies, procedures and activities for higher education. The committee will be responsible for advising the AP Program staff on issues related to AP and its relationship with colleges and universities. Philip Ballinger, director of admissions at the University of Washington, serves as chair.
The committee will provide the first combined perspective of both college faculty and admissions officers, and the AP Program is eager to identify how to best work with higher education to demonstrate that increasing academic rigor at the high school level is mutually beneficial to colleges and secondary schools.
Among other areas, the committee plans to focus on external messaging; access, affordability and advocacy; and sharing best practices.
The group will meet biannually, with their next meeting scheduled for mid-November, followed by another in April 2010.
