Progress in Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate in SREB States

By Heather Andrews.

SREB's Goals for Education: Challenge to Lead outlines several goals, one of which is “All recent high school graduates have solid academic preparation and are ready for postsecondary education and a career.” One important way to assess progress toward this goal is to measure how many students enroll in and pass Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses. This publication focuses on the numbers of schools offering the programs, students taking the courses and students passing the end-of-course tests. It also describes the actions that some states are taking to facilitate progress.

Keywords: AP, IB, end-of-course exams, college-level courses, college preparation, academic preparation, college credit, professional development

Goal that it reflects: 5. All recent high school graduates have solid academic preparation and are ready for postsecondary education and a career.
