Only about 20% of every 1,000 high school students are expected to take Advanced Placement Courses, according to a forecast from the Center for American Progress. Furthermore, about 40% fewer black students enroll in these courses than white students, with an even lower representation of Indian or Alaska Native students.
At San Jose Unified School District, veteran Superintendent Nancy Albarrán has dedicated her more than 25-year journey there to driving equity and effectively expanding access to advanced learning, including growing and diversifying their AP Program.
In this Ed Talk, Albarrán will discuss her district’s strategies to expose a wider range of students to advanced coursework so they can develop the confidence and skills necessary to succeed in high school, college, and their career. Also, learn about the latest AP research and best practices from a former assistant superintendent and high school principal now at the non-profit College Board.
Key Takeaways:
- Research that supports how exposing more students to advanced coursework increases college readiness
- 4 AP Course recommendations relevant to a wider group of students
- Strategies for how to effectively identify more students ready for advanced learning
***Attendees will receive a series of resources from the non-profit College Board to help support starting or expanding their AP Program and help all their students understand the value of taking AP.
