ACCESS Another Resource for Teachers!

ACCESS is Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators, and Student Statewide which is a distance learning program. This program, set up in 2005 by Alabama governor Bob Riley and State Superintendent of Education, Dr. Joseph B. Morton, allows student to have the opportunities to take AP courses, electives, and other classes which they may not have access to. This gives student the chance to be equal and to expand and challenge their minds. I believe this is a great program for students that come from areas that do not allow them many opportunities. This will allow them to get the education they deserve. Also, it will allow them to prepare better for college. ACCESS says that their vision is that the State of Alabama will provide equal access to high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning. Students and teachers deserve the opportunity to be the best they can be.

Talking about teachers this distance program is not just about students. ACCESS provides multimedia and technology tools to enhance their teaching and classrooms. Teachers want the opportunities to help their children in anyway they can. As in my last post about ALEX, this is another great resource for teachers. Many teachers did not have the chance to use these advance technologies till now, using the ACCESS program.

I urge teachers and counselors to take advantage of this great resource. Your students deserve the best that you can give them and by using this website you can increase the learning in your classroom and allow them the chances and opportunities they ought to have.
