At MasteryPrep, we’re hard at work updating our products and services to stay ahead of the upcoming ACT changes. In case you haven't heard, these changes take effect this spring for national test dates and Spring 2026 for school and district administrations. We're fine-tuning our digital platform to align with the new digital ACT format and revamping our test-taking strategies to give educators the best tools possible. We're even diving deep into practice test questions to ensure every detail is covered. Get all the details on our blog: https://bit.ly/3D1LtQW

We gave away some tried and true techniques along with some original insights in this webinar. Educators shouldn’t engage for the sake of engagement. The goal of all engagement should be to connect the learner with the material, hence the term “effective engagement.” If it’s not effective, then it’s not really engagement. I was honored to lead this one and to share with you!
