2 Who can take Pre-AP and AP Courses? All students in all Austin ISD middle and high schools have access to and are eligible to enroll in Pre-AP and AP courses. Austin ISD supports The College Board s Equity and Access Policy Statement. The College Board s Equity and Access Policy Statement The College Board strongly encourages educators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs by giving all willing and academically prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP. We encourage educators to: Eliminate barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved. Make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. Provide all students with access to academically challenging coursework before they enroll in AP classes. Only through a commitment to equitable preparation and access can true equity and excellence be achieved.

4 Pre-AP Belief Statements What is Pre-AP? Pre-AP is a suite of K-12 professional development resources and services. Pre-AP courses provide students with strategies and tools they need to engage in active, high-level learning to develop the skills, habits of mind, and concepts necessary to succeed in advanced placement courses and achieve college readiness. In Austin ISD, we believe: All students can perform at rigorous academic levels. This expectation should be reflected in curriculum and instruction throughout the school so that all students are consistently being challenged to expand their knowledge and skills. All students should be encouraged to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum through enrollment in advanced level and AP courses. We can prepare every student for higher intellectual engagement by starting the development of skills and acquisition of knowledge as early as possible. The middle and high school years provide a powerful opportunity to help all students acquire the knowledge, concepts, and skills needed to engage in higher levels of learning. It is important to have recognized standards for college-preparatory and college-level academic work. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board College and Career Readiness Standards are integrated into the state Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The College Board has curricular requirements that must be met before an AP course is authorized. While every student is different and every teacher has unique strengths and a unique style, common expectations in terms of topics, concepts, and skills benefit all students. All students should be prepared for and have an opportunity to participate successfully in college. Equitable access to higher education must be a guiding principle for teachers, counselors, administrators, and policymakers. Equity means more than offering the same opportunities; it means a willingness to do whatever is necessary to help prepare a wide variety of students with different needs, different backgrounds, and different abilities. Schools should make every effort to ensure that advanced level and AP courses reflect the diversity of the student population. Barriers however unintentional or complex that limit access to demanding courses for all students should be eliminated, particularly those for underrepresented ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups. Adapted from

7 Curricular Guidelines for American Sign Language The Texas Education Agency has developed Curricular Requirements and Strands for each ASL course. These requirements should be emphasized in the development of skills in all ASL courses. Curricular Requirements Novice Learners: understand short-signed phrases when attending and respond expressively with learned material; produce learned signs, phrases, and sentences; detect main ideas in familiar material that is signed; be able to transcribe ASL into English gloss; recognize the importance of communication and how it relates to the American Deaf culture; and recognize the importance of acquiring accuracy of expression. Intermediate Learners: participate in simple face-to-face communication; create statements and questions to communicate independently when signing; understand main ideas and some details of signed material on familiar topics; understand simple signed statements and questions and transcribe these into written English gloss; meet limited practical and social communication needs; use knowledge of the culture in the development of communication skills; use knowledge of the components of ASL, including grammar, to increase accuracy of expression; and cope successfully in straightforward social and survival situations. Advanced Learners: participate fully in casual conversations in culturally appropriate ways; explain, narrate, and describe in past, present, and future time; understand main ideas and most details of material signed on a variety of topics; transcribe ASL into written English gloss; cope successfully in problematic social and survival situations; achieve an acceptable level of accuracy of expression; and apply knowledge of culture when communicating. Curricular Strands COMMUNICATION The student communicates in ASL using expressive and receptive communication skills. The student is expected to: engage in a variety of signed exchanges of learned material to socialize and to provide and obtain information; demonstrate understanding of simple, clearly signed language such as simple stories, high-frequency commands, and brief instructions when dealing with familiar topics; present information using familiar words, phrases, and sentences to others; and demonstrate an awareness of ASL grammar, vocabulary, and phonology/cherology. CULTURES The student gains knowledge and understanding of other cultures. The student is expected to: demonstrate an understanding of the practices (what people do) and how they are related to the perspectives (how people perceive things) of the cultures studied; and demonstrate an understanding of the products (what people create) and how they are related to the perspectives (how people perceive things) of the cultures studied. CONNECTIONS The student uses the language to make connections with other subject areas and to acquire information. The student is expected to: use resources (that may include technology) in the language and cultures being studied to gain access to information; and use the language to obtain, reinforce, or expand knowledge of other subject areas. COMPARISONS The student develops insight into the nature of language and culture by comparing the student's own language and culture to another. The student is expected to: demonstrate an understanding of the nature of language through comparisons of the student's own language and ASL; demonstrate an understanding of the concept of culture through comparisons of the student's own culture and the American Deaf culture; and demonstrate an understanding of the influence of one language and culture on another. COMMUNITIES The student participates in communities at home and around the world by using languages other than English. The student is expected to: use the language both within and beyond the school setting through activities such as participating in cultural events and using technology to communicate; and show evidence of becoming a lifelong learner by using the language for personal enrichment and career development.
8 Curricular Guidelines for Chinese The College Board has developed Curricular Requirements for each AP course. These requirements should be emphasized in the development of skills in Pre-AP courses. The Curriculum Strands below are reflective of state and national standards for which the student expectations vary based on the proficiency levels of novice, intermediate and advanced. Curricular Requirements Demonstrate level of Chinese proficiency across the three communicative modes: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational, as articulated in Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century (Standards); and at the Intermediate level, as articulated in the ACTFL Performance Guidelines for K- 12 Learners. Use Chinese almost exclusively in class and encourages students to do likewise. Expose students to perspectives broader than their immediate environment. Assessments are frequent, varied, and explicitly linked to the Standards' goal areas. Prior to assigning an assessment task, teachers share with their students the criteria against which their performances will be evaluated. Choose from both conventional print and aural materials such as textbooks, audiovisual materials, and Web-based content designed for language learning. They also make use of materials generally used by native Chinese speakers, such as print and Web-based texts; animated computer programs; and video-, CD-, and DVD-based products. Teachers scaffold students' experiences with these texts, particularly those that would normally be considered beyond the grasp of high school students. Develop both communication and language learning strategies, such as inferring meaning either through sociocultural context or linguistic features. Plans and implements structured cooperative learning activities to support ongoing and frequent interpersonal interaction, and employs a range of instructional strategies to meet the diverse needs of his or her learners.

14 AP World Languages Vertical Team Strategies TPR (Total Physical Response) Memory can be influenced through association with physical movement in which actions can reinforce comprehension and retention of content items. TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) Reading and storytelling combine to help students learn vocabulary and grammatical structures using questioning and gesturing strategies. Concept Mapping TOPIC Students visualize how knowledge is organized and how ideas are connected. Instructional Roles Teacher: Demonstration/modeling Student: Observe, attempt, practice, refine Teacher: Lecture Student: Listen, watch, take notes, question SLA (Second Language Acquisition) Comprehensible and compelling input provided in low anxiety situations and at one level beyond their linguistic competence will help students acquire language naturally. GS (Gouin Series) Students acquire language in the natural order by listening first to a series of five or more sentences of chunks of content through which vocabulary, grammar or content can be taught.
