ACCESS: Week 3 Assignment

In education today many students become discouraged, especially in high school. The state of Alabama has come up with a great way for high school students to be successful and achieve their goals. This program is called ACCESS, which stands for Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators, and Students Statewide.
Many people today are wondering what exactly ACCESS is, as was I at the begining of this assignment. Governor Bob Riley initiated ACCESS to help students become more motivated about thier own education. ACCESS is an education initiative of Alabama Department of Education. It provides Alabama high school students with opportunities that they may not have access to. The ACCESS website has many useful resources and information videos for parents, students, and educators. The objectives of the ACCESS program are to provide advanced placement and dual enrollment to students. As well as promoting E-Learning experiences for all Alabama high school students and their teachers.
ACCESS is a great program that willl only help strengthen Alabama's educational programs. With ACCESS, students will become independent learners, effective communicators, and will grow into mature, responsible students. ACCESS is going to take off throughout our state and I look forward to partaking in this program once I become an Alabama certified teacher!!
