The Incubator by https://padlet.com/nancysaguto/equity Welcome back to the incubator! We would like to use this platform to reconnect with each other. We are hoping every group will make an entry. Some possibilities for a post could include: where you are in your research process, interesting links or articles, questions you have, or possible next steps. Feel free to comment on each other's posts!

Following are some disheveled notes from our discussion:

(model from history)
1) Break all barriers to enrollment

2) Enrollment way up, particularly for AA students

3) Summer support weeks:  formal but with food

Questions (possible roadblocks)
release time for teachers?
cost of food?
cost for taxis?
student leaders?
salaried position?
Does the class Instruct Content?
Does the class Teach and encourage practice of Skillz?
Open to all "underrepresented kids?"

How do we sell the shift upward to kids?
 - why AP?
- data on college readiness and success correlated to AP (even if not getting a 4 or 5)

One student could test the transition - ask a Globe reporter to serially meet with them to help tell the world what the strengths and weaknesses of the program throughout the first year.

What do we call it:
PAP - Preparation for AP
SNAP - Starting Now:  AP
RAP - Readiness for AP
WHAP - What's AP
CRAP - Creating Real AsPerations
