Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 60

SAT preparation sessions are conducted prior to dates when multiple students will take the SAT.  Students come in on weekends to prepare for the exam and check out preparation books to study on their own.

 

Thanks to this foundation grant, students have easy access to math preparation material.  Multiple students have commented that it was these books and sessions that helped them achieve the score they needed to gain entrance to the school of their choice or to earn them a scholarship.

 

This grant is helping student achieve their dreams.  Thank you Nassau Education Foundation!  

Thank you!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Improve student scores on the Mathematics portion of the SAT 

 

What will be done with my students

Voluntary SAT preparation sessions are held prior to both Fall and Spring SAT administrations. Students take practice SAT tests and work on individual SAT problems.  

 

Benefits to my students

I currently have a small set of Math SAT preparation books. I allow students to use them during after school and weekend preparation sessions. Because of the limited number, I can only loan out a few books.
With an increased number of books, more students would be allowed to continue to prepare on their own at home. This is extremely beneficial to low income families that can't afford to purchase one on their own.
 

 

Budget Narrative

Preparation books are $18.95 each. Fewer books could be ordered to reduce cost if needed.
