PROBLEM OF PRACTICE
The focus of Riverside’s problem of practice is ACT testing. The ACT is a test that all 11th graders are required to take. It serves as a component to universities and colleges. In previous years preparation for testing has been limited to select students. The sessions were offered after school, which reduced the number of students able to participate due to transportation barriers. In an attempt to increase the accessibility to all students, we are systematically incorporating pre-sessions for all 11th grade students within the school day. There are currently 442 students who will register to take the ACT exam. Currently, there is one below mastery group, six near mastery groups, four mastery groups, and two above mastery groups. The remaining groups consist of students who did not have a pre-ACT score from the school.
