Super Wednesday: Leveraging the PSAT & College Ready Events to Support AP Program Growth

Wednesday January 30, 2019
1:00 - 2:00 PM
Great Hall 3501 G

Every October, students both nationally and internationally take the PSAT, an assessment that provides students feedback on skills, scholarship opportunities, and practice for important college admissions exams. But how do districts create opportunities for all students to take the PSAT? How can districts use this information to grow their Advanced Placement (AP) program? This session will focus on one district’s implementation of a “Super Wednesday” event where all 10th and 11th grade students take the PSAT. Learn about how the district used PSAT and AP Potential data to make decisions on program growth and increase student enrollment in AP courses. Participants will learn about all facets of the "Super Wednesday" event, including incorporating college readiness guest speakers, a FAFSA completion night, and additional resources to help guide their planning.
