Understanding What to Expect on the SAT, How to Practice, and How It Can Help with College Applications

 GUEST:  

Priscilla Rodriguez, Vice President, College Readiness Assessments, The College Board

 Background

Taking the SAT can be intimidating for students, but it doesn’t have to be. The redesigned SAT was introduced in 2016 as an achievement test that measures the skills and knowledge that students are already learning in classrooms across the country.

 Now, when students take the SAT, they can focus on showing their strengths: not on tricks and strategies. Eliminating these false barriers mean more students have an opportunity to put their best foot forward on the SAT. And taking the SAT provides tangible opportunities to students who are applying to college.

 Did You Know?

The SAT tests the material students learn in school and measures the skills most essential for college and career, including everyday vocabulary and the math that matters most. The new SAT removes “SAT words,” and math that isn’t necessary for college work.
The best way for students to practice for the SAT is to link their College Board account to Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy® to get a free, personalized practice plan based on their scores.

Income-eligible students can take the SAT and the SAT Subject Tests, apply to college, send their scores, and apply for financial aid for as many colleges as they choose, all for free.
Through the SAT, students can opt into Student Search Service, a free program that connects students with educational and financial aid opportunities from colleges, and to scholarships.
Taking the SAT connects students to scholarships, including the new College Board Opportunity Scholarships program, where students can earn up to $2,000 for improving their SAT score. 
The SAT is accepted everywhere. All colleges across the U.S. accept SAT scores for admissions.

 Priscilla Rodriguez will describe the benefits of taking the SAT and how the test can help students with applying to college.

SUGGESTED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

What should students expect on the SAT?

How can students practice for the SAT?
Colleges are going test-optional; why should students take the SAT?
How does the SAT help students with college applications?
What is the Student Search Service and what does it mean to opt-in?

BRX Pro Tip: How Much Time Does it Take to Run a BRX Studio? Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton here with you. Lee, I’ve been on the phone a lot and we’ll continue to be throughout the balance of this year, I think, talking to prospective studio partners about teaming up with us, so they can leverage this platform to help more people make more money in their market. One of the questions that almost always services pretty early in that process is how much time does it take to run a Business RadioX studio. Let’s unpack that a minute.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:28] Sure. Well, one of the first things is how much time does it take once you know how to run the studio? So, the training part is an important component. And it does take some time to learn kind of all the basics of running the studio. But once you’ve got that, the actual, you know, maintenance of actually running the studio is pretty minimal, something that you can do half-a-day a week, one day a week. You can do it as much as you’d like to do it. So, minimum viable product for running a studio, I think, requires some activities like inviting people to a show, doing the show and then, following up and having meetings after the show. Those are, to me, the core components of what a studio partner would be doing on a regular basis. Do you agree with that?

Stone Payton: [00:01:11] I do agree with it. And let’s go back to what we always say, this thing is going to hit whatever you aim it at, right? So, let’s just take a specific scenario, you take me 10 years from now, I’m retired in some rural area in Alabama, maybe outside of Birmingham or something. Maybe I’m more interested in hunting and fishing and playing golf. But I want to stay relevant. I want to be involved in the business community.

Stone Payton: [00:01:31] So, let’s see, I want to maintain relationships with some of the movers and shakers in the Birmingham environment. So, whenever I am out, I’m probably going to have a show and we’ll be able to tell people, “Hey, you’d be great on Birmingham Business Radio.” And someone will invest a little time and energy in that, but someone that’s parallel with stuff I’m already doing. And then, I’m going to want to carve out some time during the week, right? Maybe do it every Thursday, maybe do it every second Tuesday. So, there’s that time.

Stone Payton: [00:01:55] And then, there’s also the time, and this is assuming I’ve been trained to do it all, that I got to get it up in the system and get it published. Now, me, I’d probably hire somebody to do that part. But I mean, in that scenario, I mean, what are you talking, maybe two-and-a-half days a week and then, all the way to, you know, you take a guy like a John Ray or Mike Sammond here in the Atlanta market, you know, they’re not going to tap out of it. They’re probably working good three-and-a-half, four days a week.

Lee Kantor: [00:02:18] And that’s the thing, is once you start doing it and you start serving the community and you start finding those other allies there that are saying, “Hey, how do I get a show”, all of a sudden, you’re like, “Hey, this is pretty easy money.

Stone Payton: [00:02:30] Right.

Lee Kantor: [00:02:31] And I’m just doing the thing I like to do.” And then, you might expand it beyond those initial days that you start. So, to me, it can be what you want it to be. It doesn’t have to be a full-time 40 hours a week job, it can be done in a day or two a week.

Stone Payton: [00:02:45] Potential studio partner candidates asked me that time, something I would never say in that phone call, but I’ll just say straight up to you guys right now, they’re already doing so much stuff, wasting so much time, it’s not going to take any more time. It is going to save them time compared to what they’re doing now. Most people who are out there scratching and clawing for new business and ways to build new relationships, they’re wasting so much time doing so much silly stuff. You know, I wouldn’t say that in the phone call, but I’m just telling you guys that if anything, it’s a tremendous time saver.

00:00 /

NONPROFIT’S INNOVATIVE LITERACY MISSION MAY BE KEY TO IMPROVING READING SCORES

 Why after 20 years of reform are student scores stagnant on the Nation’s Report Card? Find out how one national nonprofit is changing the story on student literacy scores

 AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEW:

Christina Riley, EL Education Director of Curriculum Design

 Christina Riley is currently the Director of Curriculum Design, overseeing curriculum design for EL Education. Prior to this, she was a lead designer on the nationally renowned EL Education English Language Arts curriculum, which is currently EdReports’ highest-rated elementary ELA curriculum. Before joining EL, Christina served as an Elementary Curriculum Design Specialist for Socratic Arts, designing a STEM curriculum for elementary students, and participated in various curriculum design projects as an independent consultant including creating educational resources for middle school students for a NASA/ISTE project. Christina began her career in education as an elementary teacher and subject manager at public schools in the UK before moving to teach at two international schools in Japan. Christina holds a Master of Science in education from California State University and currently lives in Lyons, Colorado.

BACKGROUND:

Every two years, 4th and 8th-grade students across the United States are given a reading assessment known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress or the “Nation’s Scorecard.” The test measures reading comprehension by asking students to read selected grade-appropriate materials and answer questions based on what they have read. In 2019, nearly 294,000 students participated. In both grades, the average reading scores were lower in 2019 than they were in 2017.

Despite these disappointing results, new approaches are providing hope in major districts and communities that have historically struggled with childhood literacy. EL Education, a nonprofit created out of a collaboration between The Harvard Graduate School of Education and Outward Bound USA, is proving in districts across the country that pairing the research-informed EL Education K-8 Language Arts curriculum with professional development leads to student achievement. 

For example, a recent study of K-2 students in a large district in Tennessee examined the impact on student literacy achievement of the EL Education K-2 ELA curriculum. The study found schools that implemented the Skills Block and Modules (two components of EL Education’s curriculum) with EL Education support had significantly higher student achievement compared to a matched national comparison group.

Similarly, after just one year of literacy partnership with EL Education, students in Detroit Public Schools Community District posted their highest-ever scores on the Michigan ELA assessment. In all but one tested grade, they also outperformed the state in growth. Students’ 2019 test scores showed the greatest single-year improvement on the state tests in the history of the exam. After adopting a new curriculum and systematic support, Detroit has emerged as a model for resilience and results.

Finally, a five-year independent study of 12,000 students from 70 schools and 18 districts across the US found that teachers improved their classroom teaching and students achieved higher scores on their state tests in schools combining EL Education’s curriculum and professional development. Economically disadvantaged students made up 71% of students were economically disadvantaged.

On January 30, EL Education Director of Curriculum Design, Christina Riley will be available for interviews. She will discuss the research-informed EL Education literacy program results and how similar results can be achieved in other school districts. She will also share the recent Nation’s Scorecard results for your local region.
