Tennessee Department of Education, University of Tennessee at Martin offering free ACT prep across state
The Tennessee Department of Education and University of Tennessee at Martin have partnered to provide free ACT classes, office hours and workshops to Tennessee high school students and teachers this summer.
Students have access to the ACT Success Tactics Workshop and ACT Mastery classes to familiarize themselves with the exam and look further into certain sections, along with virtual office hours. Resources for students are available via Zoom over the summer and through fall 2022. The first session of the ACT Workshop for teachers is Aug. 2 and covers how to incorporate ACT curriculum into teaching strategies.
“We are excited to partner with UT Martin to focus on ACT readiness and college and career success for all Tennessee high school students,” said Commissioner Penny Schwinn in a statement. “These workshops and classes are tremendous free resources that will help better prepare our students for postsecondary success while equipping our teachers with tools for focused classroom instruction on college readiness and career pathways.”
The workshops, office hours and classes began June 1 with registration available on UT Martin’s website. Now, several Chattanooga-area colleges do not require scores for the ACT or similar tests for applicants, but these scores may still be used for scholarship opportunities.
