ACCESS

Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide, also known as ACCESS, is a program that is being adopted throughout several schools in Alabama. It is a technological resource that allows high school students to take different courses via the internet. Students can access classroom's statewide and take many courses that will help prepare them for college. They will learn to navigate the web and computer with ease adapting to different teaching styles in areas that deal with core, advanced, honors, AP, remediation, elective and supplemental courses. This program gives students learning benefits that have never been available before.

Not only is this an exceptional program for students but there is also several benefits for teachers that participate. They will be able to view many different teaching styles that may help them develop there own programs and share them with other schools. This will allow them to be critiqued and critique other teachers to improve their programs and this learning technology. It will also open doors to extended resources that they can use or modify for their own benefit. With ACCESS eventually being expanded to all schools in Alabama the teachers and students will finally have opportunities that they have never had before.
