Site Visits

The site visit is an important activity for providing Advance College Project (ACP) teachers with support and maintaining professional discourse between the ACP teachers and the IU faculty. One prearranged visit with each course instructor is made by the appointed Indiana University (IU) faculty member once a year during the term in which the course is taught with an enrollment of two or more students.

An important function of the site visit is to ensure the integrity of the ACP course content and instructional delivery. Although course instructors vary their methods and specific syllabi to some extent to accommodate their individual teaching style, it is important to be able to assure both the department on the IU campus accrediting the course work and any institutions accepting ACP credits for transfer that the ACP course taught in the high school is comparable to the same course that is taught at IU.

Most site visits include an observation by the IU faculty member of a typical class session, followed by a discussion with the ACP teacher. In that discussion, any problems arising from implementation of the course can be covered. During this discussion, the ACP teacher is expected to share perceptions of:

how well the course is progressing,
students' abilities,
grading procedure, and
other concerns with course implementation.

The high school administrator should be made aware by the ACP teacher that the university liaison will be visiting. Any questions or comments relating to ACP can be shared between the two at this time.

If you are an IU faculty member appointed to conduct site visits, see Site Visitor Guide for site visit guidelines.
