The Advanced Placement Incentive Program (APIP 2) is designed to ensure that our highest poverty schools have equal access to the support needed to increase AP course offerings, enrollments, and test outcomes for low-income and underrepresented students. With the support of the APIP grant, SDUSD will close the AP equity gap at participating schools through the following goals, objectives, and outcomes:
Goal 1: Increase Number of AP/IB Courses Offered at Low-Income Schools. Gap Addressed: Access |
|---|
| Objective 1.1: By the end of Year Three, each school will offer rigorous AP/IB programs in the core subject areas of English, Math, and Science. |
| Objective 1.2: Each year of the grant, participating high schools will add minimally 2 AP/IB courses per year. |
| Objective 1.3: In Year Two and Year Three of the grant, participating schools will add minimally one online and/or critical foreign language courses to their AP/IB courses. |
| Objective 1.4: During the three years of the grant, over 100 teachers will receive 150+ hours of Pre-AP and AP training. |
| Objective 1.5: Each year of the grant, principals at all participating high schools and middle schools will be trained in the College Board Leadership Institute for Principals strategies for a total of 20+ hours. |
| OVERALL OUTCOME: AP Courses offered at disadvantaged schools will equal in number to those offered at non-economically disadvantaged schools. All participating low-income high schools will have rigorous AP programs in English, Math, and Sciences. Schools will also offer online courses and critical foreign needs languages courses. |
Goal 2: Increase the Number of Low Income and Underrepresented Students Enrolled in AP/IB Courses. Gap Addressed: Enrollment |
|---|
| Objective 2.1: The number of low income students participating in core AP/IB courses will increase by a minimum of 4 percentage points each year of the grant (from the current 18% to 30% over a three year period). |
| Objective 2.2: The number of Latino students participating in core AP/IB courses will increase by a minimum of 6 percentage points each year of the grant (from the current 16% to 34% over the three year grant period). |
| Objective 2.3: The number of African American students participating in core AP/IB courses will increase by a minimum of 7 percentage points each year of the grant (from the current 13% to 34% over the three year grant period). |
| Objective 2.4: A minimum of ten percent (10%) more English Language Learners will enroll in core AP/IB programs at participating schools over the three year grant period. |
| Objective 2.5: A minimum of 5,000 low-income students (eligible for FRL) will participate in one or more AP/IB core course over the 3-year grant period. |
| OVERALL OUTCOME: The enrollment academic achievement gap for low-income and underrepresented students will be eliminated at participating schools. |
Goal 3: Increases in the Number of AP/IB Tests Taken and Passed by Low-Income and Underrepresented Students. Gap Addressed: Participant Success Rates |
|---|
| Objective 3.1: The number of AP/IB tests in core subject areas of English, Math, and Science will increase by at least 10 percent (10%) each year. |
| Objective 3.2: The number of AP/IB tests in all areas will increase by at least 10 percent (10%) each year. |
| Objective 3.3: Low-income students passing the AP/IB test will increase by 8 percentage points each year to close the gap by the end of three years (43% compared to 68%). |
| OVERALL OUTCOME: The number of AP/IB tests taken by and passed by low income and underrepresented groups will increase to close the equity gap at participating schools |
