Access

The ACCESS program being started in Alabama is a wonderful way for high school students to receive education in areas that they would not have had the opportunity to learn in previously. Governor Bob Riley saw this plan as a great way for students to get high quality education that is not currently available in Alabama high schools. The ACCESS program works both through approved internet courses and certified E-teachers online who provide instruction teachers in the schools cannot.

The biggest advantage of this program in my opinion is the fact that it gives all school participating in it the opportunity for it's students to receive college credit through dual courses. I was lucky to attend a high school that offered such courses with I took advantage of to put me an entire semester ahead in college before I even graduated. Giving this opportunity to students who do not attend schools with teacher qualified to teach dual classes is a wonderful thing.

Overall, I hope this program has great success and I will support it in anyway I can. I look forward to being a part of such a wonderful program, and I hope it can be used in my classroom one day.
