Karen and Tim speak to Dr. Greg Hessee. Greg shares perspectives on the current state of AP courses and the issues around access to AP opportunities for all students, not just a select few. Selection and placement into AP courses has been historically racist, and Greg discusses initiatives and ways to make access to AP courses more equitable and prevalent in schools and how to help schools and districts build a more robust AP program. He is currently a teacher at the same school as Tim, Colegio Nueva Granada in Bogota, Columbia, where he is also the Advanced Placement (AP) coordinator. Greg is an English teacher as well as the AP coordinator, was formerly the Program Director of the Colorado Legacy Schools Initiative, and has been a teacher and school leader in urban schools throughout the U.S., including New York, Austin, and Denver.
