Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr. has instructed Florida school officials to teach College Board’s AP Psychology course “in its entirety,” according to a letter obtained by ABC News from the state Department of Education.

    So, how long should we expect until Mr. Diaz Jr. finds himself without a job for speaking out against the “will of the state”?

              AP curricula are standardized, every high school AP psych class covers the exact same material and has the same test. On the other hand, intro college classes, like the one you taught, can vary from school to school or even between professors. The AP psych curriculum including a couple more subjects than you include in your curriculum certainly doesn’t meet any definition of “radically different.”

              Other professors do include this material. And AP psych is supposed to mimic a psych 101 course, but it doesn’t have to mimic your course.
