Successfully passing the TSA builds student’s confidence to enter their chosen profession. Having students successfully pass the TSA will make you a rock star in the eyes of administrators and business partners! Teachers often get to work with peers in same CTE Program as they create all of the materials needed for a fun\, intense\, competitive 8-15 day test preparation experience to help boost scores on the TSA significantly! We hope to see an increase in test scores of 15-30 percentage point as a result of designing a dynamic\, competitive\, fun experience for students as they prep for the TSA. \nUpon successful completion of the course\, which includes submission of homework\, participants will receive an ADE certificate for 15 professional development clock hours\, which equates to one (1) semester hour of coursework.
