ACCESS is an amazing program dedicated to the promotion of higher education of high school students. It is a program that Governor Bob Riley and State Superintendent of Education, Dr. Joseph B. Morton initiated. The vision of the ACCESS program is for the the State of Alabama to “provide equal access to high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning opportunities.” This is a really great thing for the high school students in Alabama. It really gives them a chance to better themselves. Some of the perks of the program include advanced placement, dual enrollment, and “advanced diploma” courses. The goal of the ACCESS program is to “provide additional educational offerings for all Alabama public high school students.”
Besides this program focusing on the higher education of high school students it is also an amazing program for teachers throughout the state of Alabama. It allows teachers to share lesson plans with each other. If a teacher has a problem coming up with her lesson plan than he or she can just log onto ACCESS and discuss it with another teacher or even see other lesson plans teachers have put on the program. They can also see how well something is working in a classroom. All in all, this program is stellar idea and I really am looking forward to see how well Alabama students do in the future after using the ACCESS program.
