As of the 2024-25 school year, no application or sign-up form is required.  \nSchools that offer AP Seminar or AP Research must ensure that their teachers complete the required summer professional learning prior to teaching either course.  \n[See collegeboard.org/apcapstone for details](See collegeboard.org/apcapstone for details).  \nEffective Fall 2024  \nTHIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.  \nAP® Seminar  \nCOURSE AND EXAM DESCRIPTION Part oftheAP Capstone™ Program  \nRevised Edition  \nEffective  \nFall 2024  \nAP COURSE AND EXAM DESCRIPTIONS ARE UPDATED PERIODICALLY  \nPlease visit AP Central ([apcentral.collegeboard.org](apcentral.collegeboard.org)) to determine whether a more recent course and exam description is available.  \nAP Capstone Program  \nWhat AP® Stands For  \nThousands of Advanced Placement teachers have contributed to the principles articulated here. These principles are not new; they are, rather, a reminder of how AP already works in classrooms nationwide. The following principles are designed to ensure that teachers’ expertise is respected, required course content is understood, and that students are academically challenged and free to make up their own minds.  \n1. AP stands for clarity and transparency. Teachers and students deserve clear expectations. The Advanced Placement Program makes public its course frameworks and sample assessments. Confusion about what is permitted in the classroom disrupts teachers and students as they navigate demanding work.  \n2. AP is an unflinching encounter with evidence. AP courses enable students to develop as independent thinkers and to draw their own conclusions. Evidence and the scientific method are the starting place for conversations in AP courses.  \n3. AP opposes censorship. AP is animated by a deep respect for the intellectual freedom of teachers and students alike. If a school bans required topics from their AP courses, the AP Program removestheAP designation from that course and its inclusion in the AP Course Ledger provided to colleges and universities. For example, the concepts of evolution are at the heart of college biology, and a course that neglects such concepts does not pass muster asAP Biology.  \n4. AP opposes indoctrination. AP students are expected to analyze different perspectives from their own, and no points on anAP Exam are awarded for agreement with any specific viewpoint. AP students are not required to feel certain ways about themselves orthe course content. AP courses instead develop students’ abilities to assess the credibility of sources, draw conclusions, and makeup their own minds.  \nAs the AP English Literature course description states: “AP students are not expected or asked to subscribe to any one specific set of cultural or political values, but are expected to have the maturity to analyze perspectives different from their own and to question the meaning, purpose, or effect of such content within the literary work as a whole.”  \n5. AP courses foster an open-minded approach to the histories and cultures of different peoples. The study of different nationalities, cultures, religions, races, and ethnicities is essential within a variety of academic disciplines. AP courses ground such studies in primary sources so that students can evaluate experiences and evidence for themselves.  \n6. Every AP student who engages with evidence is listened to and respected. Students are encouraged to evaluate arguments but not one another. AP classrooms respect diversity in backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. The perspectives and contributions of the full range of AP students are sought and considered. Respectful debate of ideas is cultivated and protected; personal attacks have no place ","cbCaiv9y11W03Lgx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv9y11W03Lgx","pdf",14528647,148,"English","# AP® Seminar - Course and Exam Description\n## Effective Fall 2024\n## AP Capstone Program\n### What AP® Stands For\n## Contents\n### Preface\n### Acknowledgments\n### About AP\n### AP Course Development\n### Enrolling Students: Access, Opportunity, and Readiness\n### Offering AP Courses: The AP Course Audit\n### How the AP Program Is Developed\n### How AP Exams Are Scored\n### Using and Interpreting AP Scores\n### AP Classroom, Digital Activation, and AP Digital Portfolio\n### Digital Submission for AP Capstone\n### About the AP Capstone™ Program\n### Research Base\n### The AP Capstone Diploma™ and AP Seminar and Research Certificate™\n### AP Capstone Pedagogical Framework","[{\"question\":\"Do schools need to sign up or apply to offer AP Seminar starting in the 2024-25 school year?\",\"answer\":\"No. As of the 2024-25 school year, no application or sign-up form is required for schools to participate in AP Capstone and offer AP Seminar or AP Research.\"},{\"question\":\"What must teachers do before teaching AP Seminar or AP Research?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers must complete the required summer professional learning prior to teaching either course.\"},{\"question\":\"What principles guide how AP courses are designed and taught?\",\"answer\":\"The program emphasizes clarity and transparency, engagement with evidence and the scientific method, and respect for intellectual freedom by opposing censorship and indoctrination.
