Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Programs: Optimal Learning Environments for Talented Minorities?

Robin M. Kyburg, Holly Hertberg-Davis and Carolyn M. Callahan

As school leaders face the racial, ethnic, linguistic, and economic diversity that increasingly characterizes urban areas, educators must endeavor to create scholastic environments that are responsive to varying academic and social needs of the student population. This qualitative study investigates ways in which teacher and administrator behavior and the school environment contribute to the successes or frustrations of minority students in AP and IB courses. Classroom observations and interviews with 9 administrators, 4 counselors, 43 teachers, and 75 students in 3 urban high schools revealed that consistent, broad-based support scaffolds learning experiences for students, enabling them to experience success and develop confidence to take on new challenges in college.
