School districts across Massachusetts are exploring opportunities to improve college readiness. One of the factors critical to students’ readiness for college is their academic preparation particular in mathematics and English. In order to assess students’ math and English college readiness skills, high schools across the state have been using the Accuplacer test to gauge such competencies. These early assessment tests administer exams, using the Accuplacer, to high school juniors and seniors to provide them with early signals about the mathematics and English competencies they might need to succeed in higher education. This professional development session is designed to introduce high school guidance and career counselors, school administrators, math and English teachers, college academic and career advisors, faculty instructors for remedial courses, and academic deans to early assessment with Accuplacer program models (EAP) and intervention strategies applicable to both secondary and postsecondary settings. The content of the session is informed by both research and practice. This is a hands-on session with case study application.
