The College Board proposes to create a new Advanced Placement (AP) course - AP Computer Science: Principles - that will focus on the principles and practices of computing, preparing more students for a competitive 21st century workforce. The new course will be consistent with the 2002 National Research Council recommendation that AP courses "reflect what we know about how students learn; build students' transferable, conceptual understanding and inquiry skills; and convey the content and unifying concepts of a discipline." The course will be engaging, accessible, inspiring, and rigorous. It is intended to foster a wider appeal for the CS discipline and better prepare STEM majors. The College Board's meticulous AP course development process, already proven and thoroughly vetted in the NSF-funded redesign of several other AP science courses, will provide the framework for developing the new course's curriculum. Specific deliverables of the proposal will be: 1) the AP CS Principles course; 2) the design of course pilots in both secondary and post-secondary settings; 3) implementation of the pilots and curriculum evaluations; and 4) a suite of computer-based, prototype assessment items.

大学董事会建议创建一个新的高级安排（AP）课程 - AP计算机科学：原则 - 将重点关注计算的原理和实践，为更多的学生做好21世纪劳动力的准备。新课程将与2002年国家研究委员会的建议一致，即AP课程“反映了我们对学生学习的了解；建立学生的可转移，概念的理解和询问技能；并传达纪律的内容和统一概念”。 该课程将引人入胜，访问，鼓舞和严格。它旨在促进对CS学科的更广泛吸引力，并更好地准备STEM专业。大学董事会细致的AP课程开发过程已经在NSF资助的其他几项AP科学课程中经过证实和彻底审查，将为开发新课程的课程提供框架。提案的特定可交付成果将是：1）AP CS原则课程； 2）在中学和高等后环境中的当然飞行员的设计； 3）实施飞行员和课程评估； 4）一套基于计算机的原型评估项目。
