The Link Between EXPLORE and PLAN and the ACT
This Evening We Will:– Explain how the Explore, Plan build toward the
ACT and we will look at the core components of the test.
– Review the student score report.
– Discuss how you can use Explore/Plan results to better prepare your student for the ACT and make curricular decisions.

Through collaborative research with postsecondary institutions nationwide, ACT has established
the following college readiness benchmarks*:
* Minimum score needed on an ACT subject-area test to indicate a 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher or a 75% chance of obtaining
a C or higher in the corresponding credit-bearing college course.
![Page 12: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What’s so important about the
EXPLORE & PLAN?
![Page 13: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Current Testing Pattern• 8th Explore (1-25)• 9th Explore (1-25)• 10th Plan (1-32)• 11th ACT/MME (1-36)
• Allows for one year’s measurement of growth and time for interventions.
![Page 14: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Possible Change for 2012-2013
• 7th Explore• 8th Explore• 9th Plan• 10th Practice ACT• 11th ACT/MME• One year’s measurement of
growth, but more time for interventions.
![Page 15: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Middle School: Strengthening the Connection
• The 1-25 score measured by the Explore are all standards covered in Elementary and Middle School.
• The District is now shifting curriculum alignment to the ACT College Readiness Standards (rather than the MEAP).
• Our MSs are being in-serviced on the Standards and the State is moving to the National Core Standards which are ACT based.
![Page 16: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What does this look like?
• The ACT Math standards were broken down by GLCEs and HSCEs. On the next slide, the yellow highlighted standards are actually GLCEs which are found in the Math portion of the ACT.

MEAP and MMERCS Elementary and Middle
Schools have celebrated incredibly high success rates on the MEAP…– What happens when those
“successful” students take the Explore, Plan and ACT?
– A 40% is considered proficient on the MEAP.
![Page 20: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MEAP vs. MME• Let’s track on student scores from
the MEAP to the MME. – Are the students labeled as
“proficient” on the MEAP meeting the ACT College Readiness Standards?
– It’s all about the cut score!
![Page 21: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Why are our Scores Going Up?
• There is no substitute for quality instruction in the classroom.
• We are using our data for over all school improvement and to assist individual students.– Revisiting our curriculum/instruction– Targeted ACT prep activities
• Interventions• Stakeholder Involvement
![Page 30: Explore and Plan Tests: Parent Night information slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5549a836b4c9050c708b550a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Stakeholder Involvement
• STUDENTS: All 9th and 10th grade students went through the entire test with counselors and subject area teachers making note of strengths and weaknesses.
• PARENTS: Mailed home results, holding this meeting/podcasting.

Pulling Apart the Results
• Use the Strength and Weakness Worksheet to break the questions from each section down into skill areas (available on the website).
– Where does your student have the most correct/incorrect responses?
– This will help to focus your review and remediation.

Now What?• Students need more instruction in
areas of weakness- not less.
