Common Core State Standards Alignment

How the Common Core State Standards Prepare Students to Engage in AP® CoursesIntroduction

The College Board has been a strong advocate for and played an active role in the development of the Common Core State Standards. As part of this collaboration, the College Board helped draft the standards and helped shape the initiative by providing executive guidance on the Common Core Advisory Committee. The goal of the Common Core State Standards — to establish a common set of rigorous expectations to prepare students for college and career readiness — strongly reflects the guiding mission and values of the College Board, as well as our programs and services.

Prior to the development of these Common Core State Standards, the College Board established blue ribbon panels in English language arts, mathematics and statistics, and science to define the skills and knowledge students must develop and master to succeed in college and the workforce in the 21st century. This effort resulted in the development of the College Board Standards for College Success™. These standards for English Language Arts, Mathematics and Statistics, and Science were based on empirical research conducted by the University of Oregon’s Center for Educational Policy Research in collaboration with the Association of American Universities. The standards are benchmarked against the Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) as well as national and international frameworks, including NAEP, TIMSS, and PISA (Wiley, Wyatt, & Camara, 2010). These standards were an important resource in the development of the Common Core State Standards because they were based and benchmarked on empirical evidence related to college success.

The College Board recognizes that defining clear, consistent, and rigorous standards is just the start of ensuring educational improvement. The College Board actively works with states and districts as they build their Common Core implementation plans, and we continue to provide guidance and technical assistance in the areas of:

• comprehensive alignment services;

• benchmarking standards, assessments, and performance level indicators against college outcomes;

• Common Core implementation plan development; and

• professional development.

In support of near-term goals, the College Board has developed this alignment study to document the existing correspondence between the Common Core State Standards and selected AP courses.

This report describes how the Common Core State Standards can prepare students to engage in the following courses: AP English Literature and Composition, AP English Language and Composition, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, and AP Computer Science A. As new curricula and assessments emerge and existing curricula and assessments are enhanced, the College Board will conduct additional studies to understand the alignment of other forms of curricula and assessments that may be administered in support of the Common Core State Standards.

Common Core State Standards Alignment

Content for ComparisonCommon.Core.State.Standards

The Common Core State Standards articulate the knowledge and skills students need to be ready to succeed in college and careers. They were designed to be (1) anchored in research and evidence; (2) aligned to college and workplace expectations; (3) rigorous, clear, and consistent; and (4) reflective of best practices in international frameworks. The standards span kindergarten through 12th grade.

The.Advanced.Placement.Program®

AP is a rigorous academic program built on the commitment, passion, and hard work of students and educators from both secondary schools and higher education. With more than 30 courses in a wide variety of subject areas, AP provides willing and academically prepared high school students with the opportunity to study and learn at the college level.

Each AP course is modeled upon a comparable college course, and college and university faculty play a vital role in ensuring that AP courses align with college-level standards. For example, through the AP Course Audit, AP teachers submit their syllabi for review and approval by college faculty. Only courses using syllabi that meet or exceed the college-level curricular and resource requirements for each AP course are authorized to carry the “AP” label.

AP courses culminate in a suite of college-level assessments developed and scored by college and university faculty members as well as experienced AP teachers. AP Exams are an essential part of the AP experience, enabling students to demonstrate their mastery of college-level course work. Strong performance on AP Exams is rewarded by colleges and universities worldwide. More than 90 percent of four-year colleges and universities in the United States grant students credit, placement, or both on the basis of successful AP Exam scores.

Although the Common Core State Standards create a strong foundation for many AP courses, College Board content teams focused this study within the English language arts and mathematics disciplines. The following AP courses were considered within the scope of this study:

AP.English.Literature.and.CompositionAn AP English Literature and Composition course engages students in the careful reading and critical analysis of imaginative literature. As they read, students consider a work’s structure, style, and themes, as well as specific elements such as the use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone. Such reading should be accompanied by thoughtful discussion and writing about those books in the company of one’s fellow students.

AP.English.Language.and.CompositionAn AP course in English Language and Composition engages students in becoming

skilled readers of prose written in a variety of rhetorical contexts, and in becoming skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience expectations, and subjects, as well as the way genre conventions and the resources of language contribute to effectiveness in writing.

AP.Calculus.AB.and.AP.Calculus.BCAP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC are primarily concerned with developing the students’ understanding of the concepts of calculus and providing experience with its methods and applications. The courses emphasize a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Calculus BC is a full-year course in the calculus of functions of a single variable. It includes all topics taught in Calculus AB plus additional topics, but both courses are intended to be challenging and demanding; they require a similar depth of understanding of common topics.

AP.StatisticsAn AP course in Statistics introduces students to the major tools and concepts for collecting, representing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference.

AP.Computer.Science.AAn AP course in Computer Science A emphasizes object-oriented programming methodology with a concentration on problem solving and algorithm development. It includes the study of data structures, design, and abstraction. A large part of the course is built around the development of computer programs that correctly solve a given problem, while developing the use of logic and formal methods of programming.

MethodologyResearchers and organizations have developed different methodologies and approaches to align standards (Brown & Conley, 2007; Rothman, 2003; Webb, 1997, 1999; Porter, 2002; Achieve, 2007, 2010; College Board, 2008, 2010; Blank, 2007), and the alignment approaches vary in terms of rigor and accuracy. The College Board employs rigorous alignment methodologies as it compares standards, curricula, and assessment frameworks and consistently adheres to the following alignment principles, which are recognized as best practices by thought leaders in the field:

• Deep and careful consideration must be given to the full intent and scope of each standards statement, with attention to both the content and skill components of the standard.

• Alignments must be made to the most specific component or grain size of the standard.

• The course materials utilized in the alignment study must clearly and explicitly outline the course objectives and expected student performances.

• Consideration and attention must be given to both content and cognitive demand (rigor) when developing alignments between standards and course materials.

These alignment principles are apparent in the alignment methodologies developed by

Common Core State Standards Alignment

Norman Webb and Andrew Porter, as well as in the nationally recognized work from organizations such as Achieve, WestEd, the Education Policy Improvement Center (EPIC), the Center for Assessment, and the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC) Project led by the Council of Chief State School Officers in partnership with the University of Wisconsin.

For this study, the College Board applied these alignment principles to compare the Common Core State Standards to selected AP courses. The comparison is nuanced in that the Common Core State Standards are designed to articulate the knowledge and skills students need to be ready to succeed in college and careers, and AP courses and exams are designed to represent the level of a first-year college course. In light of this distinction, alignments between the Common Core State Standards and AP courses should not be interpreted as linkages of content or skills at the same level of rigor or challenge, but as areas where there is an identifiable bridge from one framework to another — a link from the Common Core State Standards to a specific AP course. Similarly, “gaps” should not be interpreted as Common Core State Standards that do not prepare students for AP, but as valuable, general content that contributes to a student’s preparedness as a whole.

The purpose of this alignment study is to identify the Common Core State Standards that prepare students to engage in selected AP courses. Correlations between the Common Core State Standards and the AP courses are indicated in the alignment tables (appendixes A and B) by an “X” next to the Common Core State Standard under the appropriate course column.

In order for a Common Core State Standard to be considered aligned to an AP course, evidence of the extension of that Common Core State Standard must be cited from at least one document from the collection of AP course materials. Evidence of the extension of a Common Core State Standard for English Language Arts will appear in the AP English courses as content and skills similar to those of the Common Core State Standards but in the differing context of first-year college-level coursework. The relationship between a Common Core State Standard for Mathematics and the evidence of the extension in the AP Calculus courses, AP Statistics, and AP Computer Science A will appear as more of a traditional prerequisite relationship between the Common Core State Standards and the AP courses.

For further explanation of the relationship between an aligned Common Core State Standard and an AP course, see the Demonstration of Alignment Methodology table.

AP.Course.MaterialsThe following AP course materials informed this study:

• AP Course Descriptions–Detailed descriptions of the AP courses and exams.

• AP Curricular Requirements–The set of curricular and resource expectations that college faculty nationwide have established for college-level courses.

• AP Teacher’s Guides–Additional information on the AP course, exam, curricular requirements, available resources, and sample lessons and syllabi.

• AP Syllabus Development Guides–Subject-specific documents that contain multiple samples of evidence for each requirement, illustrating the variety of ways curricular requirements can be met in a syllabus.

• AP Released Exams–Documents that include an AP Exam that was once administered as a live exam and supporting information such as answer keys and statistical information about student performance when the exam was administered.

• AP Exam Specifications–Statistical and content-based blueprints for the design of AP Exams.

This collection of resources presents a detailed view of the content knowledge and skills students should master upon completion of an AP course.

The College Board aligned the AP English courses, the AP Calculus courses, AP Statistics, and AP Computer Science A to the following Common Core State Standards grade levels and strands:

AP.English.Literature.and.AP.English.Language:Both AP English Literature and AP English Language were aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts grade bands 9–10 and 11–12, as well as to the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards1 (Anchor Standards).

All strands of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts were considered for this alignment study (i.e., all Anchor Standards, Reading Standards for Literature, Reading Standards for Informational Text, Writing Standards, Speaking and Listening Standards, and Language Standards/Progressive Skills)2.

AP.Calculus,.AP.Statistics,.and.AP.Computer.Science.A:AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, and AP Computer Science A were aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics grade 6 through high school, as well as to the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Middle school mathematics standards were included in this alignment study because content within the Common Core State Standards at the middle school grade levels had been traditionally identified within high school-level coursework in most state standards. In addition, in order to accurately demonstrate the body of prerequisite knowledge and skills required to be prepared for an AP mathematics courses, it was necessary to include the full middle school and high school Common Core State Standards.

1. The College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards define general literacy expectations and are meant to be considered in tandem with the Common Core State Standards high school grade bands.

2. The Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects were not included within the scope of this alignment study. These literacy standards are designed to inform literacy instruction across the disciplines and so would not be appropriate for an alignment to the AP English courses.

Common Core State Standards Alignment

It is important to note that the intent of the Common Core State Standards is to provide focused standards that all students should meet in order to be college and career ready. Additional mathematics content that students should learn in order to take advanced courses such as calculus, advanced statistics, or discrete mathematics is indicated by a (+) within the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and the alignment table.

Summary of the Alignment Between the Common Core State Standards and AP English and Mathematics CoursesGiven the nature of the alignment between the Common Core State Standards and AP courses, it is more appropriate to discuss the degrees of alignment in terms of concentration instead of strength of coverage. As expected, the highest concentration of alignment between the Common Core State Standards and AP courses occurs within the strand most specific to the AP course (e.g., the highest concentration of alignment between the Common Core State Standards and AP English Language occurs within the Reading Standards for Informational Text). Overall, the alignment indicates that a student following a curriculum based on the Common Core State Standards would be well prepared for a number of AP courses.

AP.English.Literature.and.CompositionThere is a high concentration of alignment between the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and AP English Literature, specifically in the areas of the Reading Anchor Standards, the Reading Standards for Literature at grade bands 9–10 and 11–12, the Writing Anchor Standards, the Writing Standards at grade bands 9–10 and 11–12, the Language Anchor Standards, and the Language Standards and Progressive Skills at grade bands 9–10 and 11–12. The few Common Core State Standards in these strands that do not align to AP English Literature should not be considered superfluous. Some standards, such as those that reference comparing artistic media, will enhance a student’s preparation for AP but are not directly evidenced in the AP materials.

The scarcity of alignment between the Reading Standards for Informational Text and AP English Literature is to be expected. While informational text may be useful for students conducting a critical analysis of fiction, the focus of AP English Literature is decidedly imaginative literature. Similarly, there is less frequent alignment between AP English Literature and the groups of Common Core State Standards in Writing and Language that address the more specific elements of research and the use of reference materials. There is also a lower concentration of alignment between the Speaking and Listening Standards and AP English Literature. This limited alignment should not be interpreted to mean that these standards do not contribute to a student’s preparation for AP. Speaking and listening

skills, such as those addressed in the Common Core State Standards, are expected to be mastered by students prior to their entering an AP course and so are not emphasized in the AP English Course Description. In addition, these skills, typically evaluated through classroom observation, are unlikely to appear in materials related to assessment.

AP.English.Language.and.CompositionThe most concentrated alignment between the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and AP English Language occurs in the areas of the Reading Anchor Standards and the Reading Standards for Informational Text at grade bands 9–10 and 11–12. In addition, there is a high concentration of alignment in the areas of the Writing Anchor Standards, the Writing Standards at grade bands 9–10 and 11–12, the Language Anchor Standards, and the Language Standards and Progressive Skills at grade bands 9–10 and 11–12. Because the AP English Course Description notes that fiction and poetry can have a place in the AP English Language course, there is also significant alignment between the Reading Standards for Literature and AP English Language.

There is limited alignment between the Speaking and Listening Standards and AP English Language. Much like the relationship between the Speaking and Listening Standards and AP English Literature, speaking and listening skills are valuable to a student entering AP English Language; however, these skills are considered prerequisite and best measured through classroom observation. For these reasons, speaking and listening skills are not emphasized as part of the AP English Course Description or exam materials, but they are evident within AP classroom practice.

AP.Calculus.AB.and.AP.Calculus.BCThe Common Core State Standards for Mathematics contain additional standards, identified by a (+), to indicate concepts linked to more advanced work in mathematics, work that may lead to a course such as AP Calculus. A majority of these “+” standards were linked to AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC as prerequisite skills, which illustrates how AP Calculus is part of a logical progression in an advanced mathematics course plan.

There is a high concentration of alignment between the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics at the grade 6 through high school level within the Standards for Mathematical Practice as well as in the conceptual categories of Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, and Geometry. As anticipated, a less concentrated alignment to the Common Core State Standards at the grade 6 through high school level occurs in the conceptual category of Statistics and Probability. Standards that align to AP Calculus BC but not to AP Calculus AB are those standards that provide support for the study of content unique to AP Calculus BC such as polar and vector functions.

AP.StatisticsAP Statistics should also be viewed as part of a logical progression in an advanced mathematics course plan based upon the Common Core State Standards. There is a high concentration of alignment between the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics at the grade 6 through high school level and AP Statistics within the Standards for Mathematical Practice as well as in the conceptual categories of Statistics and Probability, Number and Quantity, Algebra, and Functions. While the alignment to the Common Core State Standards at the grade 6 through high school level is less concentrated in the conceptual category of Geometry, it is important to understand that the AP Statistics course is considered an option for any secondary school student who has successfully completed a second course in algebra. Teachers and curriculum developers should not interpret a less concentrated alignment in conceptual categories to mean that there is no benefit to mastering those

uncorrelated standards prior to taking an AP Statistics course. Those skills will enhance the student’s mathematical abilities and afford the student a more rounded opportunity for success in AP Statistics.

AP.Computer.Science.AAP Computer Science A aligns to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in a less concentrated manner. As stated within the AP Computer Science A documents, the prerequisite skills needed to be successful in an AP Computer Science A course include knowledge of basic algebra and functions as well as problem-solving skills. Concentration of alignment to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics at the grade 6 through high school level occurs primarily within the Standards for Mathematical Practice and within the conceptual categories of Algebra and Number and Quantity. A less concentrated alignment to the Common Core State Standards is evident within the conceptual categories of Functions and Geometry.

Despite the lower concentration of alignment in some conceptual categories, it can be concluded that the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics effectively prepare students to participate in AP Computer Science A. Students learning the mathematics of the Common Core State Standards will have experienced mathematical content and skills that go beyond the minimum requirements of the mathematics skills needed to be prepared to take the AP Computer Science A course. Teachers and curriculum developers should not interpret a lack of correlation to mean that there is no benefit to mastering the uncorrelated standards prior to taking an AP Computer Science A course. Those skills will enhance the student’s mathematical abilities and afford the student a more rounded opportunity for success in AP Computer Science A.

Demonstration of Alignment Methodology TableThis table illustrates the methodology used in the alignment study by highlighting examples of the relationship between the Common Core State Standards and AP courses. In order for a Common Core State Standard to be considered aligned to an AP course, evidence of the extension of that Common Core State Standard must be cited from least one of the documents from the collection of AP course materials. The full alignment tables (appendixes A and B) demonstrate a macroscopic view of this methodology.
