Welcome to A+ College Ready

A+ College Ready, a division of the A+ Education Partnership, was created in August of 2007 with a $13.2 million grant from the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI).  NMSI awarded grants to nonprofits in six states to implement a proven Advanced Placement training and incentive program.  Key leadership involved in launching and supporting this public-private partnership include the governor, the state superintendent of education, the Alabama Power Foundation, Regions Financial Corporation, Boeing, ExxonMobil Corporation and the Alabama Math, Science and Technology Education Coalition.

The Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program increases dramatically the number of students taking and passing AP math, science, and English exams, and expands access to traditionally under-represented students. It uses a comprehensive approach that increases teacher effectiveness and student achievement in rigorous math, science and English courses through training, teacher and student support, vertical teaming, open enrollment, and incentives. In the first year, the initial 12 pilot schools in Alabama saw an 83 percent increase in passing scores earned on AP exams and a 68 percent increase by minority students.  The program will be operational in 43 schools in the 2010-2011 school year and will ultimately expand into over 80 schools across the state.

Three additional highly qualified content directors - one in each subject area of math science and English - are being sought to support the growth and sustain the success of the program in Alabama.   The content directors must be able to establish significant credibility within the state’s AP teacher community and have relevant experience to manage the program.   Each director must be able to manage multiple priorities, actively contribute to all aspects of program implementation and growth, and be entrepreneurial in finding solutions for challenges facing participating schools and districts. 

Content directors will be expected to travel approximately fifty percent of the time throughout the state  and will report to the president of A+ College Ready.  The content directors’ main offices will be located at 1230 1st Avenue North, Birmingham, Alabama 35203.  However, working and travelling from a home office may be possible part of the time.  Salary will be commensurate with experience; A+ College Ready offers a full benefits package and is an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Applications will require letter of interest, resume and salary expectations be sent to marydboehm@bellsouth.net. or to:
