ACCESS

Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide (ACCESS)was created by Govenor Bob Riley and his task force for distant learning. The goal of this program is to give every student an opportunity for equal education. A goal education systems should share as a whole. In order to meet the goal, classroom courses and teachers are provided through technology. Equal access will be provided through high quality instruction to improve student achievement through distance learning. It is great because students can receive the highest quality education, no matter what school the student attends. The classes are taken online during regular school hours. The student is able to work at their own pace and has the opportunity to repeat a lesson if they are struggling. The student can take higher level classes that are not offered at all schools. It really gives the students who do not have the opportunity to take AP classes the equal chance at an education they deserve.

As a teacher this is a goal of mine, I believe it is very important to give each student the chance to excel in school and in life. And if this does what it says it will do, it will be very beneficial to the education system.
