I've been a strong advocate for HS juniors/seniors to take college courses on campus, or now online for years. It is the only way to understand the speed and hidden curriculum of college. APs don't measure college readiness, just (at best) content knowledge.
AP courses aren't the only way to strengthen college applications. Here are five opportunities high schoolers with no access to AP courses can consider. https://t.co/FpPTxVrR5E

Way more is needed besides courageous conversations and book clubs. Serious inward humility and growth is needed to move the needle from the mind to the heart. It can be done, but people are going to have to be uncomfortable before growth occurs.
Paths toward true unity, justice and reconciliation require more than interpersonal kindness. In this critical moment, we can model these paths in the classroom.

This one is personal. I met Dr. Woodson several years ago at AERA. She is a brilliant young scholar and an asset to higher education. We need more scholars of color and others traditionally on the outside in the academy. Sign the Petition! https://t.co/8kJXWELDXr via @Change
