Help one student see themselves in their first AP course.

WHY IT MATTERS

Research is clear: The largest predicted boost in college grades and on-time degree completion comes from helping a student take their very first AP course. One trusted adult, one conversation, one nudge in the right direction can set that in motion.

AP has evolved, and for many students, the first step isn't a schedule change. It's encouragement. When you help one student see AP as possible—as meant for them—you open a door that can change what they believe about themselves and what they pursue next.

THE ACTION (3 steps)

1. Identify a student who may be ready for AP but hasn't considered it.
2. Reach out — a quick message, a conversation after class, or a check-in during advising.
3. Use your free Open Doors resources to guide the conversation. Share the student-facing materials so they have clear, concrete next steps to follow.
