This checklist will help you consider some steps to take before, during, and after your event to maximize your event’s impact.  \nBEFORE YOUR EVENT     \nFORM A PLANNING COMMITTEE to help you conceive and achieve a great, impactful event for students.  \nEXPERT TIP Don’t be shy to invite volunteers from outside of the school—passion and expertise are everywhere!  \nGET SCHOOLED  \nMake sure you and your staff understand the ACT College and Career Readiness Standards and Benchmarks, what they represent, and how to help your students compare their test results to these benchmarks. This will help students more fully understand their strengths and challenges.  \nGET PEOPLE INVOLVED  \nMake a list of activities involving community leaders, families, and volunteers before and during your event. Having the community participate helps students understand this is an important day with real-world stakes regarding their future planning.  \n• Include a Family Night or after-school activity prior to your event.  \n• Invite local business, postsecondary, military, and government leaders to present at your College and Career Readiness Day.  \nSPREAD THE WORD  \nInclude emails, social posts, posters, postcards, flyers, newsletters, mailed letters—anything that will reach your audience. Make sure your plan includes your educators, students, families, and even the local community. Everyone should know about your event because highly skilled and motivated students affect the whole community. Consider how local businesses may want to support the students with free breakfast or snacks in exchange for a mention in your community communications.  \nEXPERT TIP Consider how local business may want to support the students with free breakfast or snacks in exchange for a mention in your community communications.  \nGET STUDENTS READY  \nMake sure each student has a MyACT account to access testing and their test scores. Consider test prep options, including free resources on [act.org](act.org. Also)[. Also](act.org. Also), remind students to be well rested and energized (don’t forget breakfast) before they get to school for your event, because that can have a positive effect on their performance.  \nGET STAFF READY, TOO  \nTrain your staff on ACT-approved procedures and guidelines to ensure quality test administration.  \nEXPERT TIP Create a shared schedule so all educators know where and when they should be present.  \nDURING YOUR EVENT     \nINVOLVE ALL STUDENTS  \nMake sure to plan activities for the whole school (click here for a planning guide), not just upperclassmen. College and career readiness starts early, and the more time students have to achieve it, the better they’ll perform.  \nKEEP CAREER INTERESTS IN MIND  \nHelp students find their direction during your College and Career Readiness Day. Students taking PreACT and the ACT test can take and use an interest inventory to match their self-reported interests, abilities, and values with potential careers and college majors.  \nEXPERT TIP Include a career fair or other career exploration activities in the afternoon after testing.  \nLOOK BEYOND COLLEGE READINESS  \nBe sure your event includes activities that measure and build career readiness and social and emotional learning skills. These skills affect job performance and career longevity.  \nEXPERT TIP Bring in a speaker from the community to talk about career skills.  \nAFTER YOUR EVENT     \nSPREAD THE WORD (AGAIN)  \nUse your reporting and data analysis to let the school and community know how well your students did.  \nRECOGNIZE YOUR STUDENTS  \nUse the ACT Recognition Toolkits and WorkKeys NCRC digital badges to shine a light on students’achievements on the PreACT, ACT, ACT WorkKeys, and ACT WorkKeys National Career Readines","cbCaiu8Y0vqKzN0b","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu8Y0vqKzN0b","pdf",295246,"English","# Before Your Event\n## Form a Planning Committee\n## Get Schooled\n## Get People Involved\n## Spread the Word\n## Get Students Ready\n## Get Staff Ready, Too\n# During Your Event\n## Involve All Students\n## Keep Career Interests in Mind\n## Look Beyond College Readiness\n# After Your Event\n## Spread the Word (Again)\n## Recognize Your Students\n## “Show and Tell” Test Results\n## Help Students Find Their Fit\n## Make Time for Improvement","[{\"question\":\"What should a school do before starting the event planning?\",\"answer\":\"Form a planning committee, align staff with ACT College and Career Readiness Standards and Benchmarks, and involve community leaders, families, and volunteers through a structured list of activities.\"},{\"question\":\"How should students and staff be prepared before testing during the event?\",\"answer\":\"Ensure each student has a MyACT account for access to testing and scores, review testing guidance with ACT-approved procedures, and create a shared schedule so educators know where and when to be present.\"},{\"question\":\"What actions should be taken after the event to support students’ progress?\",\"answer\":\"Use reporting and data analysis to communicate results, review scores one-on-one to identify and close readiness gaps, provide college readiness insights, and consider retesting options while noting fee waivers and the possibility of ACT Superscore.\"}]","HOW TO PLAN & CREATE A COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS DAY - Checklist | PDF",1791515169]
