BIG reward and something that means something to the students.  Grades aren't always it, thought it may have mattered to many of us.

ACT Question of day on morning announcements

Just talked to my honors class (mostly seniors) about their ACT scores and asked if any of them planned to retake the ACT. About 8-10 hands went up. I then asked them if someone were to pay for them to retake the ACT how many would take it. Almost every hand went up. Interesting ...

It's not motivating the students to  pass the test that counts the most. It's motivating them to go to college, and be all that they can be that is the key. If we do this, the test scores should rise as a result of their confidence boost.

Go to the source, our students
What would motivate you to prepare for the ACT?
Focus on a core group to begin with. How can we help them prepare for the ACT? Analyze those results.

I feel like overall, the students lack the motivation needed in order to take and pass the test. Whether it be them not wanting to go to college, they've already  taken the SAT and gotten the score they desired, or that they just don't care. I feel like we, as their educators, should  take it upon ourselves to motivate them. I personally am going to do this at least once a week. Letting the students know that they have us in their corner will make all the difference.

I truly believe that daily/weekly practice along with an increased dialogue about the test will make a difference for the average CP level kid.

*BHS should offer to pay for ALL students to retake the ACT.
* We HAVE to change the culture here.
*ACT prep class- Students should be made to take the test prep class if they do not meet a prior test score that is acceptable

We have to figure out how to get students to "buy in" to the importance of the ACT. They have to be INTRINSICALLY motivated so that they are not only willing to retake if necessary, but that they also take the initiative to prepare for the test / retake.

Sequencing is an issue. Our students are being tested on information that they haven't even been taught yet.

If our objective is student motivation, it is important to recognize that reluctant students often skip questions in which they are required to read passages and respond.

The sequencing of the courses need to be changed in order that students take all relevant courses before the ACT.

What can be done to get classes more a lined.
I can help by emphasizing to use complex sentences in their writing assignments.
Students need more  push to take the test.  Reward, Rewards , rewards!
We as a school need a better plan to prepare our students for the ACT.
Could 7:30  work  for a practice and give students a half point towards a grade???
