ACCESS stands for Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide. It is a distance learning through the Internet through the Alabama Department of Education that provides web based opportunities of high quality instruction to all Alabama public high school students. For example there are a variety of courses from English, Latin and Math.
Courses are taught using Interactive Videoconferencing or IVP. For students ACCESS offers a variety of courses which include, mathematics, English, Social Studies, Foreign Languages, Health, and Art History. Courses also include electives such as career/technical coordinated studies, psychology, writing and global studies. For educators this allows for new and innovative ways to motivate students, expand their teaching knowledge and share their expertise with students statewide. For parents, this may be the way their child may benefit fro Advanced Placement or college level courses.
