My students dream of a live after high school and for many that means applying to a two or four year college. Roadblocks to this are tests like the SAT or ACT tests.
I am the Teacher Librarian for a near inner city high school (grades 9-12) located just outside the city limits of a major city in Washington State.
The school campus consists of three fully autonomous small schools of approximately 275-350 students each. Each school had a particular emphasis to better meet future career goals. While this is a terrific opportunity for the students, it does present challenges to areas like the library that are shared services. We have a very diverse student body with a high poverty level. Approximately 180 of the students are not native English speakers and approximately 100 students are Special Education students with a wide range of disabilities (enrolled in the 3 small schools). We also had a Free and Reduced lunch rate of over 79% last year and it is likely to be higher this year.
My Project
Sadly, our district funding does not cover the basics, even with a strong emphasis on College and Career Readiness. And as one of my career specialists has said “It is cost prohibitive for many of our families to pay for SAT/ACT prep program. Some programs can cost up to $1,000! These resources allow our students to independently prepare for the SAT/ACT.” But my current SAT books will be irrelevant come 2016 as the SAT test has been completely rewritten. This is where you can help. As I eliminate the outdated SAT and ACT books what will take their place?
With your help I can continue to support the students who have a dream of pursuing higher education and a successful career beyond that.
Libraries provide access for all and with your help they will be able to get up to date test prep books. Let them realize their dreams!
