Case: Diversity in Honors/AP Classes
It is the end of the year and you are working on course recommendations for the next school year. Your department head has told you that administration wants more diversity in honors and AP classes and that she will be checking recommendations to make sure that you are not only recommending white students. You begin to feel fearful that you will be labeled racist if you do not include more students of other races. However, you don't feel comfortable placing students in classes where they won't be successful for the sake of diversity. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would carefully look at my students grades and achievements very, very closely to truly make sure that they can be read for AP classes. I would at first look at my more diverse students first, then work my way to the white students. It is also good to talk to students who I feel might be ready to make sure that they are emotionally ready. If they are not comfortable with going to a higher class next semester then I won't recommend them. |

| Comments: I would agree with your solution! Reviewing their past performance with scrutiny is the main way that you can determine how ready a student is for advanced course work. Talking with the students that seem eligible or are borderline eligible for advanced work is a great idea. Even if they are just on the borderline, it could be a great learning experience for them and could teach them a lot of valuable skills like hard work, perseverance, and dedication. |
