  8. Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program Elements of Success The Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program (APTIP) is a comprehensive approach that increases teacher effectiveness and student achievement through training, teacher and student support, vertical teaming, open enrollment, and incentives. The program increases dramatically the number of students taking and passing AP math, science, and English exams, and expands access to traditionally underrepresented students. U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan highlighted NMSI’s APTIP program and student achievement: “…schools in the new National Math and Science Initiative on AP are great examples of the power of quality instruction, more time spent on task, and rigorous, content-focused teacher training. The NMSI schools are having phenomenal success in raising AP scores among minority students. In the single year of implementation to date, the number of African-American and Latino students who scored a 3 or higher on AP exams in math, science, and English, jumped more than 70 percent.” – Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, July 15, 2010, College Board AP Conference

  9. STEM impact of APTIP in Arkansas AAIMS Schools have had 110% increase in Scores of 3 or greater AP Math and Science Exams and a 96% increase in the number of AP Math and Science Exams – regardless of the number of years in the program. 1.0% of U.S. high schools 6.9% of Overall Passing 7.1% of Overall Passing 4.9% of Minorities’ Passing Source: Morgan and Klaric, 2007 9
