  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 feel like it is important to take the diversity into account but it must not guide the decision completely. Any student who is ready for the AP courseload should be recommended for the program and all other students must be thoroughly encouraged throughout the school year to do well and work towards that goal as well.

Comments: I think this student's response is very complete because it highlights the importance of recommending students for AP courses based on their academic level because the teacher considers that they might be successful.
