Last night at Roseville Joint Union High School District’s Continuous Improvement Leadership Team meeting, AP Government teacher Dana Dooley’s proposal for a fully weighted term of AP Gov passed the first step to becoming a class: gaining CILT approval.

Assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction Jess Borjon leads CILT, which is composed of administrators and teacher representatives from each site in the district.

The next step for the course is approval from the district school board. The board will be voting at the next school board meeting Tuesday, Feb. 27.

If approved, AP Comparative Government will likely replace the unweighted quarter of Law and Justice that AP Gov students currently would be enrolled in for the 2017-18 school year.

Dooley gave a short presentation to CILT on what AP Comp Gov and the course curriculum entails.

“What a relief.  I’m excited to see tangible progress made toward bringing this opportunity to our students,” Dooley said.
