Changing Teaching

“For me, ACCESS Distance Learning has created a new enthusiasm for teaching. I have learned many new things just by being an ACCESS teacher that carry over to my face-to-face students. They have benefited from my teaching in ways that they will never know.” - Debbie Pate, Teacher

As part of the ACCESS Distance Learning program, Muscle Shoals students watch via video feed from FAME Recording Studio, as the band Uglistick records a song.

Changing Schools

“At Tarrant High School, an inner city school, the superintendent gives credit to ACCESS Distance Learning as being the impetus for school reform. Tarrant began enrolling students in ACCESS courses in the spring of 2006. Since then, the graduation rate of Tarrant High School students has increased 14% (from 66% in 2006 to 80% in 2008); the number of students taking foreign languages has almost tripled; students have more confidence in their ability to be successful in more advanced coursework; and the first AP course in the school’s history has been delivered to its students.”

-Martha Rizzuto, Ph.D., Superintendent, Tarrant City Schools

eSchoolNews “ACCESS has become a catalyst for educational progress.”

Fox News – The Fox Report“ . . . trailblazer in the future of distance learning”
