The Board of Education of Anne Arundel County will hear a presentation on data trends related to Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Honors courses at its next regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, October 23, 2013.
The school system’s 2012-2017 Strategic Plan sets indicators of success for enrollment and achievement in the courses. At Wednesday’s meeting, AACPS staff will address the progress toward meeting those indicators as well as strategies being employed or envisioned to increase enrollment, engagement, and achievement in rigorous courses.
The meeting will be held in the Board Room at the Parham Building, 2644 Riva Road, Annapolis.
