Administrative Policies Regarding Advanced Placement and Honors Coursework.
Herr, Norman Edward
NASSP Bulletin, v76 n544 p80-87 May 1992
A 1988 student survey suggests that honors classes more frequently resemble traditional tracking programs (based on IQ tests and prior performance) than do advanced placement (AP) classes. AP programs appear to be based on a meritocratic system; students who are adequately prepared and sufficiently motivated can accept the challenge and enroll. Most administrators favor AP over honors classes. (MLH)
