“Students will take a pretest and it will actually tell them,’ You’re proficient with these standards, and here are the ACT standards that you need additional supports on,'” Bush said. “And then it has an online tutorial program and modules.”
Bush said they plan to fold the program into its remediation and ACT boot camp. He said it will be implemented next year.
