PHILOSOPHY OF THE CHAGRIN FALLS EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOLS Education is a lifelong process. We, the Chagrin Falls Board of Education, as the elected body being legally responsible for the public school portion of that education, subscribe to the following philosophy: We recognize an obligation to organize and administer the educational program in a manner compatible with a democratic society. We recognize that the unique responsibility of the schools is to pass along a fund of knowledge; and in order to meet this goal, to provide enriched conditions which foster academic excellence and individual growth. We recognize that all persons in our school community have rights and responsibilities that are inherent within that society. We believe that our school system should educate toward responsibility and responsiveness. We recognize that students differ in their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth and in the way they develop these aspects. We believe that the school must play a primary role in the students' education and that educational goals grow out of the needs of individuals. We believe that students bring together different abilities, talents, and backgrounds. Intellectual growth will flourish in an environment of trust, respect, and teamwork. The school should strive to heighten the students' appreciation of the cultural and individual diversity within the human family. We believe that students need the freedom to question and should be encouraged to use independent, reflective, and critical thinking. They should have the opportunity to exercise independent judgment by making decisions about their education in addition to following standardized requirements. We believe that students should understand their relationship to the community, the country, and to the world. Our schools should provide meaningful opportunities for students to become familiar with, and react to, a segment of society outside of their own community. We believe the education received in Chagrin Falls should fit the students' needs for supporting themselves in the future by preparing for further academic study and vocational opportunities. We believe objectives and procedures of all educational programs are dynamic rather than static and must change to meet new conditions in an ever-changing world. We should consider changes in the educational program because of their demonstrated worth.

ORGANIZATION OF THE SOCIAL STUDIES COURSE OF STUDY The Social Studies Course of Study is divided into grade levels and courses. In grades K – 8 and the secondary courses that are not advanced placement, the document includes Benchmarks, Indicators, Reference Code and Clarifications (Skills, Methods, Resources, and Connections). These Benchmarks and Indicators derive from the Ohio Academic Content Standards for Social Studies (2003). The Benchmarks column is the big idea or major concept that students should understand. The Indicators delineate the understandings students need to build the major concept (Benchmark). Leading Ohio social studies educators developed the Standards to guide curriculum expectations. These Standards will serve as the foundation for instruction and assessment within our district. The Benchmarks and Indicators that come from the Ohio Standards are noted with symbols in the Reference (REF.) column. The first line of upper case letters refers to the content Standard (e.g. PS = People in Societies). On the next line, the upper case letter represents the Benchmark as it is organized in the state document. The first number on the next line is the grade level at which the Indicator appears in the Ohio document. The second number is the state Indicator, as it is organized within the state Benchmark. The Indicators that do not have references are those originated by the Chagrin Falls staff that incorporate valuable understandings not included in the Ohio Standards. Due to a dramatic increase in advanced placement testing and a perception of a drop in academic rigor, the College Board instituted the Advanced Placement Audit in 2007. Teachers were required to submit an extensive syllabus demonstrating alignment and an appropriate level of academic rigor. This document reflects the information that was developed by our advanced placement teachers and approved by the College Board. The Clarification column provides information related to its adjoining Indicator. The information generally serves one of these purposes: (1) provides lesson ideas and Indicator reconceptualization, (2) provides relevant instructional resources, or (3) identifies 21st century skills that can be interjected into the lesson. This document will serve as an important resource for lesson development, delivery and assessment.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE SOCIAL STUDIES COURSE OF STUDY
The social studies program in the Chagrin Falls Exempted Village School District is developed to assist students in becoming contributing citizens in a democratic society within a changing world. Students will be challenged to expand their horizons, understanding their role locally, nationally and internationally and striving to become active participants within each of these realms. The social studies program explores the relationship of the past to the present, and the impact of the present on the future. Historical knowledge is enhanced by the students’ study of sociology, psychology, economics, geography and government in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the global society. There are three essential components of the social studies program: (1) findings: facts, concepts, generalizations and theories social scientists produce on their quest for knowledge; (2) processes and techniques social scientists use to validate their findings; and (3) embedding 21st century content and development of skills throughout grade levels to best prepare students for our ever changing world. Students learn facts and concepts to utilize information to broaden their understanding of life, recognize the changing conditions of society and seek solutions to local, national and global problems.

Ohio Department of Education K-12 Social Studies Academic Content Standards History (H) Students use materials drawn from the diversity of human experience to analyze and interpret significant events, patterns and themes in the history of Ohio, the United States and the world. People in Societies (PS) Students use knowledge of perspectives, practices and products of cultural, ethnic and social groups to analyze the impact of their commonality and diversity within local, national, regional and global settings. Geography (GEO) Students use knowledge of geographic locations, patterns and processes to show the interrelationship between the physical environment and human activity, and to explain the interactions that occur in an increasingly interdependent world. Economics (E) Students use economic reasoning skills and knowledge of major economic concepts, issues and systems in order to make informed choices as producers, consumers, savers, investors, workers and citizens in an interdependent world. Government (GVT) Students use knowledge of the purposes, structures and processes of political systems at the local, state, national and international levels to understand that people create systems of government as structures of power and authority to provide order, maintain stability and promote the general welfare. Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities (CRR) Students use knowledge of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in order to examine and evaluate civic ideals and to participate in community life and the American democratic system. Social Studies Skills and Methods (SM) Students collect, organize, evaluate and synthesize information from multiple sources to draw logical conclusions. Students communicate this information using appropriate social studies terminology in oral, written or multimedia form and apply what they have learned to societal issues in simulated or real-world settings.

Advanced Placement Psychology Course Description EFFECTIVE FALL 2010 AP Course Descriptions are updated regularly. Please visit AP Central® (apcentral.collegeboard.com) to determine whether a more recent Course Description PDF is available.

SOCIAL STUDIES ADVANCED PLACEMENT PSYCHOOGY AP Psychology The Advanced Placement Program offers a course and exam in psychology to qualified students who wish to complete studies in secondary school equivalent to an introductory college course in psychology. The exam presumes at least one semester of college-level preparation, as is described in this book. The inclusion of material in the Course Description and in the exam is not intended as an endorsement by the College Board or ETS of the content, ideas, or values expressed in the material. The material has been selected by experienced high school and college and university instructors of psychology who serve as members of the AP Psychology Development Committee. In their judgment, the material printed here reflects the content of a typical introductory college course in psychology.
THE COURSE Purpose The AP Psychology course is designed to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals. Students are exposed to the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major subfields within psychology. They also learn about the ethics and methods psychologists use in their science and practice.
Prerequisites For Students All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses. The College Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP courses for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. For Teachers and Schools AP classes require extra time on the part of the teacher for preparation, individual consultation with students, and the reading of a much larger number of assignments than would normally be given to students in regular classes. The AP Psychology Development Committee strongly urges that any teacher offering such a class be assigned a reduced number of teaching preparations. To facilitate the teaching and learning of psychology, the committee also suggests that schools enrich the resource materials available to teachers and students in classrooms and libraries. Because the AP Psychology course is designed to mirror an entry-level college course, and most college faculty use the most up-to-date textbooks and supplemental materials in their classes, the AP Psychology Exam is developed using current materials. It is highly recommended that AP Psychology teachers and students use current textbooks or supplement older texts with more recent material. Although many schools are able to establish AP courses, some schools with fewer students offer tutorial work associated with a regular course or a program of independent study. Examples of the content and organization of AP Psychology courses and equivalent college courses, as well as suggestions for appropriate resource materials, can be found in the AP Psychology Teacher’s Guide. Go to AP Central (apcentral.collegeboard.com) or see page 23 for ordering information.
Goals An introductory college course in psychology is generally one semester, with some variation among colleges. An AP Psychology course need not follow any specific college curriculum. Rather, the aim of the course is to provide the student with a learning experience equivalent to that obtained in most college introductory psychology courses.

SOCIAL STUDIES ADVANCED PLACEMENT PSYCHOOGY Topics and Learning Objectives The following is a description of learning objectives for the major content areas covered in the AP Psychology Exam, as well as the approximate percentages of the multiple-choice section devoted to each area. This listing is not intended to be an exhaustive list of topics. I. History and Approaches (2–4%) Psychology has evolved markedly since its inception as a discipline in 1879. There have been significant changes in the theories that psychologists use to explain behavior and mental processes. In addition, the methodology of psychological research has expanded to include a diversity of approaches to data gathering. AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: • Recognize how philosophical perspectives shaped the development of psychological thought. • Describe and compare different theoretical approaches in explaining behavior: — structuralism, functionalism, and behaviorism in the early years; — Gestalt, psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, and humanism emerging later; — evolutionary, biological, and cognitive as more contemporary approaches. • Recognize the strengths and limitations of applying theories to explain behavior. • Distinguish the different domains of psychology: — biological, clinical, cognitive, counseling, developmental, educational, experimental, human factors, industrial–organizational, personality, psychometric, and social. • Identify the major historical figures in psychology (e.g., Mary Whiton Calkins, Charles Darwin, Dorothea Dix, Sigmund Freud, G. Stanley Hall, William James, Ivan Pavlov, Jean Piaget, Carl Rogers, B. F. Skinner, Margaret Floy Washburn, John B. Watson, Wilhelm Wundt). II. Research Methods (8–10%) Psychology is an empirical discipline. Psychologists develop knowledge by doing research. Research provides guidance for psychologists who develop theories to explain behavior and who apply theories to solve problems in behavior. AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: • Differentiate types of research (e.g., experiments, correlational studies, survey research, naturalistic observations, and case studies) with regard to purpose, strengths, and weaknesses. • Describe how research design drives the reasonable conclusions that can be drawn (e.g., experiments are useful for determining cause and effect; the use of experimental controls reduces alternative explanations). • Identify independent, dependent, confounding, and control variables in experimental designs. • Distinguish between random assignment of participants to conditions in experiments and random selection of participants, primarily in correlational studies and surveys. • Predict the validity of behavioral explanations based on the quality of research design (e.g., confounding variables limit confidence in research conclusions). • Distinguish the purposes of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. • Apply basic descriptive statistical concepts, including interpreting and constructing graphs and calculating simple descriptive statistics (e.g., measures of central tendency, standard deviation). • Discuss the value of reliance on operational definitions and measurement in behavioral research. • Identify how ethical issues inform and constrain research practices. • Describe how ethical and legal guidelines (e.g., those provided by the American Psychological Association, federal regulations, local institutional review boards) protect research participants and promote sound ethical practice.

SOCIAL STUDIES ADVANCED PLACEMENT PSYCHOOGY III. Biological Bases of Behavior (8–10%) An effective introduction to the relationship between physiological processes and behavior—including the influence of neural function, the nervous system and the brain, and genetic contributions to behavior—is an important element in the AP course. AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: • Identify basic processes and systems in the biological bases of behavior, including parts of the neuron and the process of transmission of a signal between neurons. • Discuss the influence of drugs on neurotransmitters (e.g., reuptake mechanisms). • Discuss the effect of the endocrine system on behavior. • Describe the nervous system and its subdivisions and functions: — central and peripheral nervous systems; — major brain regions, lobes, and cortical areas; — brain lateralization and hemispheric specialization. • Recount historic and contemporary research strategies and technologies that support research (e.g., case studies, split-brain research, imaging techniques). • Discuss psychology’s abiding interest in how heredity, environment, and evolution work together to shape behavior. • Predict how traits and behavior can be selected for their adaptive value. • Identify key contributors (e.g., Paul Broca, Charles Darwin, Michael Gazzaniga, Roger Sperry, Carl Wernicke). IV. Sensation and Perception (6–8%) Everything that organisms know about the world is first encountered when stimuli in the environment activate sensory organs, initiating awareness of the external world. Perception involves the interpretation of the sensory inputs as a cognitive process. AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: • Discuss basic principles of sensory transduction, including absolute threshold, difference threshold, signal detection, and sensory adaptation. • Describe sensory processes (e.g., hearing, vision, touch, taste, smell, vestibular, kinesthesis, pain), including the specific nature of energy transduction, relevant anatomical structures, and specialized pathways in the brain for each of the senses. • Explain common sensory disorders (e.g., visual and hearing impairments). • Describe general principles of organizing and integrating sensation to promote stable awareness of the external world (e.g., Gestalt principles, depth perception). • Discuss how experience and culture can influence perceptual processes (e.g., perceptual set, context effects). • Explain the role of top-down processing in producing vulnerability to illusion. • Discuss the role of attention in behavior. • Challenge common beliefs in parapsychological phenomena. • Identify the major historical figures in sensation and perception (e.g., Gustav Fechner, David Hubel, Ernst Weber, Torsten Wiesel). V. States of Consciousness (2–4%) Understanding consciousness and what it encompasses is critical to an appreciation of what is meant by a given state of consciousness. The study of variations in consciousness includes an examination of the sleep cycle, dreams, hypnosis, and the effects of psychoactive drugs. AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: • Describe various states of consciousness and their impact on behavior. • Discuss aspects of sleep and dreaming:

243
SOCIAL STUDIES ADVANCED PLACEMENT PSYCHOOGY — stages and characteristics of the sleep cycle; — theories of sleep and dreaming; — symptoms and treatments of sleep disorders. • Describe historic and contemporary uses of hypnosis (e.g., pain control, psychotherapy). • Explain hypnotic phenomena (e.g., suggestibility, dissociation). • Identify the major psychoactive drug categories (e.g., depressants, stimulants) and classify specific drugs, including their psychological and physiological effects. • Discuss drug dependence, addiction, tolerance, and withdrawal. • Identify the major figures in consciousness research (e.g., William James, Sigmund Freud, Ernest Hilgard). VI. Learning (7–9%) This section of the course introduces students to differences between learned and unlearned behavior. The primary focus is exploration of different kinds of learning, including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. The biological bases of behavior illustrate predispositions for learning. AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: • Distinguish general differences between principles of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning (e.g., contingencies). • Describe basic classical conditioning phenomena, such as acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, discrimination, and higher-order learning. • Predict the effects of operant conditioning (e.g., positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, schedules of reinforcement). • Predict how practice, schedules of reinforcement, and motivation will influence quality of learning. • Interpret graphs that exhibit the results of learning experiments. • Provide examples of how biological constraints create learning predispositions. • Describe the essential characteristics of insight learning, latent learning, and social learning. • Apply learning principles to explain emotional learning, taste aversion, superstitious behavior, and learned helplessness. • Suggest how behavior modification, biofeedback, coping strategies, and self-control can be used to address behavioral problems. • Identify key contributors in the psychology of learning (e.g., Albert Bandura, John Garcia, Ivan Pavlov, Robert Rescorla, B. F. Skinner, Edward Thorndike, Edward Tolman, John B. Watson). VII. Cognition (8–10%) In this unit students learn how humans convert sensory input into kinds of information. They examine how humans learn, remember, and retrieve information. This part of the course also addresses problem solving, language, and creativity. AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: • Compare and contrast various cognitive processes: — effortful versus automatic processing; — deep versus shallow processing; — focused versus divided attention. • Describe and differentiate psychological and physiological systems of memory (e.g., short-term memory, procedural memory). • Outline the principles that underlie effective encoding, storage, and construction of memories. • Describe strategies for memory improvement. • Synthesize how biological, cognitive, and cultural factors converge to facilitate acquisition, development, and use of language. • Identify problem-solving strategies as well as factors that influence their effectiveness.
