ACCESS

The Alabama Connecting Classroom, Educators and Students Statewide (ACCESS) program is that offers students, whom schools do not offer advance placement, the chance to receive advance placement course work through distance learning. The student taking the courses will learn via video conference. It allows the students to receive the same course materials that other students in advance placement classrooms are receiving. It is a website that allows teachers to develop professionally in a classroom and as an E- Teacher.
It has many resources a teacher can review to become a better educator. A teacher does not have to be an E-teacher to receive resources on course content. ACCESS has different link that can be followed to learn information about different categories. It has a multi-language dictionary that allows teachers to convert words from different languages to English. An example would be from Spanish to English. This would be very useful if a teacher had an English Language Learner in his/her classroom. It has resources that give ideas for classroom projects in different areas of content. It also has link for a teacher to receive useful information about how to deal with a crisis in the classroom. It will be a useful resource for teacher to gather ideas to promote a higher level of learning for the students.
