It also provides the opportunity for high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. To participate in an AP class is to enter a world on intense discussion and thought, a class where students are given the intellectual responsibility to think for themselves and to learn to reason, analyze and understand. If we challenge students to meet high standards and give them the proper preparation , they will strive to meet the challenge. Urban and rural schools that historically did not offer many AP courses are now finding that with the proper support, urban and rural students can not only enroll in AP courses but also succeed. While most schools in Connecticut offer students support in order to meet the challenges of AP courses, there are a number of organizations that can provide parents, teachers and students with more information and support.
Interactive activities are available on CD-ROMs in six subject areas.
These CD-ROMs are available through the College Board. The professional development activities provide educators with strategies to specifically address student deficiencies in reading, writing note taking and study skills. It has been found that it is the lack of these skills that may interfere with a student's ability to succeed in AP courses not the rigor of the course content.
