Teaching for ACT Success (TFS)

(5 Hours)

TEACHERS LEARN TO INCORPORATE THE ACT

INTO DAILY LESSONS

Available in-Person, on-Site, & Live via Zoom Nationwide!

Students, teachers, schools, and districts anywhere in the United States can participate in FOL’s live tutoring, ACT Prep classes, Fish Bowl/Jump Start programs, and Professional Development seminars in-Person & through Zoom!

THE TFS WAS DEVELOPED ON THE BELIEF THAT

Classroom instruction forms the knowledge base on which the ACT is developed. Students who have strong reading, English, math, and science skills can readily be taught the test-taking strategies that are specific to the test. Students who lack a sold academic foundation struggle with the ACT test and many need skills remediation before they are ready to tackle it.

It makes sense to incorporate the ACT into the daily curriculum because the ACT is a subject based test. The intent is not to turn classrooms into ACT prep factories but to incorporate aspects of the ACT tests that are reflected in the curriculum into daily lesson plans. For example, why ask teachers to write ACT “type” questions when they can easily use questions that have already been developed by the ACT?

The Teaching for Success Professional Development Seminar familiarizes teachers with the topics that are found on both the Missouri Learning Standards and college readiness standards. Teachers learn the purpose, format, structure and content of the ACT, and they receive materials and strategies that they can incorporate into their own classrooms.

Materials teachers will receive attending the Teaching for ACT Success workshop

Participating teachers are grouped together to collaborate and facilitate ACT Prep. They receive a wealth of information for their classrooms: Online password-protected portals give access to ACT tests, student handouts that relate to the content of the subtests they help students prepare for, PowerPoint templates, long and short lesson plans, and more. Teachers receive access to multiple portals via the FOL website where they can download everything they need. New material is added to these website portals on a regular basis to stay current with the Enhanced ACT test.
