Expanding Access to Advanced Courses and Programs
On May 2, 2022, the CSDE issued District Guidance for Developing an Advanced Course Participation Policy in accordance with Public Act 21-199. The guidance was developed through a review of evidence-based practices, discussions with Connecticut school and district leaders, and feedback from a variety of stakeholders. To support implementation, the CSDE is hosting a series of virtual sessions featuring districts that have been successful in expanding student access to advanced courses and programs. Each session focuses on expanding access for a particular type of course or program.
