Many folks who want to go to great colleges will not want to take CP even if they do not want to be science majors.Ms Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431471244379818702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507158391291255109.post-12983817899317850552013-02-20T19:12:32.850-05:002013-02-20T19:12:32.850-05:00A timely conversation for us in Florida.

We have been discussing how to make the course accessible for all, even those who are not very strong in math. I'm forwarding this post to my department chair so give her some ideas on how to handle this. I think your ideas are great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507158391291255109.post-40091645740345519002013-02-20T12:21:32.702-05:002013-02-20T12:21:32.702-05:00Our school district recently shifted to 3 levels o...Our school district recently shifted to 3 levels of chemistry last year. We designed it so that the top level (what we call HP) follows the first year of the IB curriculum and is for the students planning to major in science, with an option for completing a 2nd year in the IB curriculum. The "general" level is for students looking at going to a 4 year college, but not intending to major in science. The low level ("Chemistry in the Community") is the catch-all for everyone else. MN has now required a full-year science class for all students to graduate, so we felt it necessary to have a chemistry class to account for those students even though physics could also fulfill the requirement.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902842146489834984noreply@blogger.com
