I began training today to be either a facilitator or teacher for ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, Students Statewide). I learned that for an ACCESS class to be truly successful it must have a motivated and conscientious facilitator--someone who monitors the students' work and encourages them to keep at it. The facilitator can't be just a body in the room (that kind of person takes up too much oxygen and collects dust--I'm mean, I know.)
I feel that this resource that we have is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it opens so much opportunity for our kids--variety in curriculum and experience for the future. A curse because it requires independence and self-discipline that many of our kids do not have. I'm am, though, anticipating great things from the use of ACCESS.
