Technical Skills Assessment
2023-01-31 08:00 - 15:30 | Pima JTED @ Master Pieces, 2855 W. Master Pieces Dr., Tucson, AZ, 85741, United States
Student Success on the Technical Skills Assessment Matters! Your school earns A-F points for students who complete a CTE program and pass the TSA. Our State Legislature now looks to TSA scores to determine if CTE programs should be funded. 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 work with peers in the same CTE Program area to 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 points as a result of designing a dynamic, competitive, fun experience for students as they prep for the TSA.
