Press release from Albuquerque Public Schools: November 1, 2021 During the 2021-2022 school year, APS is highlighting some of our many programs through a monthly feature called Choice Checks. One of the advantages of being a large urban-suburban-rural school district is offering so many choices. The APS Choice Checks webpage External link opens a new window. , as well as the 2021-2022 wall calendar distributed to families and employees across the district, feature just a few of the many educational opportunities we provide students – from dual language and dual credit, career-based and college-based learning, college prep and marketable job skills, fine arts and competitive sports.  Native Americans make up 5 percent of the APS student body or roughly 3,500 students. The APS Indian Education Department supports more than 100 American Indian and Alaska Native tribes. Resource teachers use multi-sensory and differentiated instruction and Indigenous evaluation and assessments to empower and strengthen student self-esteem and academic skills.  This press release was produced by Albuquerque Public Schools.
