  3. What is AP? “Advanced Placement Programs (AP) courses give you a head start on college while you’re still in the supportive environment of a high school classroom.” (College Board, 2004)

  4. Why Take Advanced Placement Courses?

  5. Why AP? • Studies show that taking challenging courses in high school is a better predictor of who will get a bachelor’s degree than their GPA or class rank • 85 percent of those who took AP courses continued their education after high school. • Students who participate in AP classes in high school receive average course grades better than 3.00 in college • Source: College Board website

  6. Why AP Courses? • Earn academic scholarships and awards • Earn college credits by passing the AP exams • Stand out in the admission process • Experience a college level course and exam. • Develop skills knowledge base to excel in college.

  11. What is the GATE program at the high school level? • The GATE program provides differentiated instruction and enrichment of the curriculum in the regular classroom • GATE students are encouraged to participate in honors and AP classes

  12. GATE funds are used in the classroom to provide teacher training, purchase supportive instructional materials and provide additional tutorials for Advanced Placement exams. • GATE funds are also used to provide college field trips and enrichment through field trips.

  13. Some activities from previous years… • This year’s students visited UC San Diego college for a tour and presentation • They attended the musical “Wicked” at the Pantages • Students also saw the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” • In May GATE students are invited to see the science exhibit “Body Works” at the California Science Center

  14. Parents are an important part of the GATE program. We will schedule a parent meeting early in the year and survey you for your ideas and suggestions. • Parents are also invited to meet with the district GATE Coordinator twice a year to give input into the program
