Agenda Item Summary:
|
The attached presentation will provide an update regarding the enrollment data for Talented and Gifted (TAG), middle and high school honor courses, Advanced Placement (AP), and Dual Enrollment (DE) courses. The data suggest that ACPS has disproportionality in enrollment in all of its advanced courses or programs.
|
|
Background:
|
The ACPS 2025 Strategic Plan commits to eliminating opportunity and achievement gaps by monitoring our progress through: disproportionality of underrepresented students in advanced courses; disproportionality rate of students in TAG at the elementary level by school and student group; and disproportionality rate of students in advanced coursework at the secondary level by school and student group. This presentation highlights historical data and current data on the enrollment in our advanced courses and programs. It outlines our current practices to enroll students and supports students in advanced classes, and codifies the action steps for future activities, which will take place beginning in February 2021.
