9. WE MULTIPLY SUCCESS 9 Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program 9 The Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program (APTIP) is a comprehensive approach that increases teacher effectiveness and student achievement through training, teacher and student support, vertical teaming, open enrollment, and incentives. The program increases dramatically the number of students taking and passing AP math, science, and English exams, and expands access to traditionally under-represented students. Elements of Success

10. WE MULTIPLY SUCCESS 10 Student Support Program Management Awards Teacher Support Program Overview: APTIP improves student achievement by increasing the number and diversity of students taking and passing College Board Advanced Placement courses and exams in math, science, and English. APTIP is a comprehensive program that supports students and teachers with teacher training, vertical teaming, open and encouraged enrollment in AP courses, student study sessions, financial incentives based on academic achievement, individualized achievement goals, and data collection. Program Impact: By fundamentally transforming a school’s culture of expectations, APTIP achieves dramatic results, including 216% increase in passing AP math, science, and English exam scores among African-American and Hispanic students and 144% increase in passing AP math and science exam scores among female students.

Qualifying scores achieved by African-American and Hispanic students on AP exams in math, science, and English in 10 Dallas ISD program schools

13. Results: Increases in Student Achievement AP MSE is nearly six times the national avg. AP MS FEMALE students is over seven times the nat’l avg. AP MSE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND HISPANIC STUDENTS is over four times the national avg. *Data of Cohort I NMSI program schools. NMSI Program Schools * % Increase, Exams Passed

Results: Increases in Student Achievement

15. WE MULTIPLY SUCCESS 15 Initiative for Military Families (IMF) 15 The Initiative for Military Families (IMF) is an innovative partnership between NMSI, the Military Child Education Coalition, the Military Impacted Schools Association, several branches of the Department of Defense, and various corporations and foundations to support children in America’s military families. NMSI does so by implementing the Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program across a network of high schools serving military installations.

16. WE MULTIPLY SUCCESS 16 IMF Program Through this initiative, we hope to expand NMSI APTAP to over 150 public high schools serving a high percentage of military families resulting in a level of consistency in rigorous coursework that will travel with a student wherever a parent's military duty calls. 16 The IMF program was launched in fall 2010 in four high schools: 1.Ellison High School in Killeen, TX 2.Harker Heights High School in Killeen, TX 3.Hopkinsville High School in Christian County, KY 4.Christian County High School in Christian County, KY These four initial schools were sponsored by Lockheed Martin Corporation.
