In the year 2000, the Texas Education Agency and the Texas A&M University System teamed up to create an initiative called the University Faculty Fellows Program. Spearheaded by Texas A&M International University in Laredo, the program paired up faculty from the university with area Advanced Placement (AP) teachers in a variety of disciplines. Their goal was to help teachers prepare successful AP classes for their high school students, thereby boosting the number of students passing the AP examinations. This article focuses on the experience of three Faculty Fellows (the authors) who worked with U.S. history and economics teachers from the United and Laredo independent school districts. Using experience as their guide, the authors found the program to be highly viable with a great deal of promise but with room for improvement. (Contains 18 notes.)
