Improving the AP Performance of Minority Students: How Schools Can Make a Difference

Printer-friendly version

This session presents the findings from an on-going project designed to identify characteristics of schools and practices of teachers who can potentially increase student access to college-level work in high school and to improve student AP test performance. The effort is particularly interested in addressing the racial achievement gap in access and performance through identifying strategies to support minority students. The study combines the information from large-scale data sets from students, schools, and teachers to identify the school characteristics that are consistently and substantially related to AP achievement outcomes for minority students.
