110: "College Ready" AP w/ Akil Bello

<p>In this episode, Akil &amp; I discuss the history &amp; context of the CollegeBoard and how the AP program in particular fits into CollegeBoard’s vision for “college ready” admissions, how that very vision is undermined by the emphasis on a 3.5 hour exam in May, and what we could be doing instead to crash the gates and actually improve accessibility &amp; equity in the admissions process in the absence of the Advanced Placement signifier.</p><p><br></p><h2>GUESTS</h2><p><strong>Akil Bello, </strong>Senior Director of Advocacy and Advancement at Fairtest, founding partner and former CEO of Bell Curves, and contributor on test equitability, learning loss, and much more</p><p><br></p><h2>RESOURCES</h2><ul><li><a href="https://akilbello.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Akil Bello's website</a></li><li><a href="https://writing.humanrestorationproject.org/drop-the-college-board/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Drop the College Board by Chris McNutt</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
