ACCESS

ACCESS, which stands for Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide, is a program offered at many schools. This program enables students to take advanced courses that are not offered at their school. There is interaction between the student and the teacher/class where the course is actually being taught. Teachers who teach must be highly qualified. Parents are welcome to go online and learn about ACCESS. Presentations and brochures can be found online, explaining the program as well as other special topics. The powerpoint presentation offers more information about the program and what teachers and students can expect.
This is an excellent program that allows students to advance when advancement is not offered at their school. For students who need a challenge, this is a great way to expand their knowledge. The school in my county offers certain distance learning classes as a way for them to take classes not offered at the school. This is a great way for teachers to meet new students, as well as, a way for students to meet new teachers. I plan to teach younger children, and I hope that this will be available for us as well.
