ACCESS Program

ACCESS program is a program that wants to implement high quality courses for the classroom and teachers through technology. The problem lies with low-income schools who do not have the additional fund to give the student the education and an Advanced diploma needed. The vision of the ACCESS program is through distance learning, provide high quality instruction and curriculum that is essential. ACCESS aspires to provide all high school students additional instruction that they may need to succeed such as dual enrollment, Advanced diploma, additional courses, etc.

ACCESS will be implemented through Internet based instruction and videoconferencing. The videoconferencing will allow teachers to access and share coursework to other educators statewide. Videoconferencing will allow students to take courses not offered in a traditional classroom, interact with other students, and allow them to assume responsibilities. ACCESS has many benefits but challenging task for teachers. Teachers will have to be organized, find strategies to keep students engaged and provide the availability needed for the students. Online classes have some of the same benefits for teachers and students as well.


The ACCESS program seems to be a program that can be very beneficial for schools, students and teachers. The vision and goals of ACCESS appear to be in the right path to better the school's curriculum and instruction. As a future educator, I could see using this in my classroom. The blended learning will be a useful procedures to use in the classroom for my professional development, also for the development of the student.
