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 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 because of designing a dynamic\, competitive\, fun experience for students as they prep for the TSA. \n\nInstructor:  Curt Bertelsen and Lee Jessen\nFor: All CTE Teachers\nADE Credit Available:  Yes\nOne Semester Hour (SH) Credit\nSatisfies Professional Knowledge\n(PK) deficiencies\n\n\nCourse Length: 1 day + homework\n\n\nSpring 2021\n\n\n\n\nDates:\nSaturday\, January 9\, 2021\nOptional Open Lab day to assist participant with homework:\nTuesday\, January 12\, 2021\n\n\nDates:\nFebruary 2\, 2021\nOptional Open Lab day to assist participant with homework:\nWednesday\, February 3\, 2021\n\n\n\nTime: 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. each day with a 30-minute lunch
