ACT Prep Train the Trainer Online Program
A must for schools that want to increase access to quality ACT preparation for their students.
November 2-22, 2009 - Cancelled (New Date TBD) NOTE: Please contact us if you are interested in this program. We are compiling a list of interested individuals and will be preparing a date around availability.
Our new online “Train the Trainer” program enables school districts to conduct ACT prep workshops for their
high school students at the time and location of their choice. In this three week program, content area teachers are prepared to teach workshops for their students in the four core areas of the ACT: English, Reading, Math and Science Reasoning. Research-based teacher and student course materials provided by Cambridge Educational Services are included. Essential takeaways from the Train the Trainer workshop include:
- How to use pre-test scores to tailor effective preparation
- Key test-taking strategies specific to each content area and question type
- Test-taking time management
INSTRUCTIONAL COST: $99 per teacher
REQUIRED SUPPLY COST: Teachers enrolled in this course will need to use a Cambridge ACT teacher set to be successful.
- Student intermediate classroom package: $66.95 per package
- Teacher set*: $84.95 per set
- Shipping and handling: 8.75% of total purchase
Schools are required to order a minimum of 10 intermediate student classroom sets in order to purchase two teacher sets. Student sets include a Cambridge ACT textbook including powerful TestPrepTM strategies, admissions advice, quizzes, upper quartile problems, complete tests with explained answers, and math, reading, English, science, and writing basic skills review; two official ACT tests; and two diagnostic assessment reports including pre-/post-instructor report student summary, and classroom item analysis.
Teacher sets include the same materials as a student package (except student assessment reports) plus a teacher’s guide and test explanations.
Schools will register each individual teacher and then order initial supplies through UW-La Crosse to be ordered one week prior to the beginning of the online program.
