SAT/ACT Professional Development for Institutions and Nonprofits
According to a 2009 report from the National Association for College Admission Counseling, "All students should be encouraged to prepare before taking admissions tests, but the potential benefits must be balanced against both financial cost and opportunity cost."
SAT/ACT test preparation is commonly something that is separate from a student's academic life within the classroom. Whether students receive private tutoring, take a weekend course, or use a study guide, SAT and ACT prep is typically done outside of school walls. A-List has come up with a cost-effective program that allows educators to incorporate test preparation into the classroom and benefits both students and educators. A-List professional development programs will train your school's teachers to run their own in-house SAT/ACT programs. We offer the tools and resources necessary to help set up classes using existing faculty.
Here are just a few benefits of A-List's training and content licensing services:
- Private SAT preparation classes can cost $700 to over $1000 per student for a course that lasts only a few weeks. Subsidizing the cost will shift the payment burden away from the students, who may not be able to afford the best courses.
- Holding courses during the school day makes it easier for students to attend without sacrificing time for schoolwork, sports, or extracurricular activities
- The school's sponsorship of the classes will make students take the work more seriously than they would independent classes, which are often viewed as extracurricular and therefore optional.
- Training the faculty in SAT subject matter will create a new level of valuable expertise in the staff, an expertise that can provide a significant return on professional development year after year.
