=__Advanced Placement__ = AP European & U.S. History courses can be taken by sophomores, juniors and seniors. The following excerpts from the collegeboard show the revised goals for AP History in general. > The curriculum framework promotes the use of [|historical thinking skills]  to explore global patterns of change over time. Acquiring these skills enables students to analyze and interpret historical events in depth, and to apply their understanding to a variety of historical contexts. Exam questions ask students to apply historical thinking skills to support the concepts contained in the curriculum framework. > Reducing the scope of AP history courses enables teachers to concentrate on teaching key concepts and historical thinking skills. > Course revisions incorporate learning objectives for history as outlined in the curriculum framework. > Course revisions employ key concepts and themes to foster either a chronological or a thematic approach to teaching. In exploring key concepts, students investigate historical developments chronologically. Through course themes, students learn to make crucial connections across historical periods. Using either approach, or alternating between the two, can help improve learning outcomes. > Educators from colleges, universities and secondary schools collaborate with the AP Program to ensure that course revisions reflect rigorous college-level standards.  =__Advanced Placement Reports__ =
