If you're a high school teacher or administrator in Arizona, you are likely aware that AzM2 will no longer be administered in the 2021-2022 school year. 

What is the new requirement? What does this mean for Beyond Textbooks? Should we align standards to the ACT or SAT? Tune into our monthly webinar as we address these questions, as well as many others. 

Today, BT Director Justin Chesebrough sits down with Vail's Director of College and Career Readiness Ethan Hurley and Empire High School Principal Matt Donaldson and ask the following questions:

  1. What is the new assessment requirement?
  2. What high school assessment does Vail administer? Why?
  3. How long has Vail been administering the ACT and who takes it? 
  4. What does our ACT data look like?
  5. What changes will occur next year? 
  6. Will Vail/BT align standards to ACT? If not, why not?
  7. Why stay with BT if the high school assessment is changing?
