Decoding: A Teacher’s Guide to Prep for the ACT® is the ultimate one-day professional development course for boosting ACT® scores.
This professional development provides teachers with strategies for incorporating test-taking skills into their everyday core curriculum and motivating students to succeed on both the ACT and in academics.
This isn’t the average professional development program.
Our professional development program offers a classroom-tested, teacher-approved approach for improving ACT scores. This program gives educators the tools they need to impact students in all score ranges.
Socratic. It’s a discussion more than a lecture. Teachers are asked to think about their experiences and leverage their own expertise to connect to the concepts of the PD.
Actionable. Teachers come away with tons of resources, from 2-minute micro-practices, to 20-minute classroom-ready mini-lessons, to an extensive standard-alignment compendium to simplify test-prep integration.
Dynamic. MasteryPrep’s facilitators are sure to deliver the event in such a lively way that the enthusiasm is practically contagious.
Foundation-Building. Decoding follows an “I do, you do, we do” structure so that teachers get a chance to put new skills into practice in a safe learning environment. That way, they can get immediate feedback and head back to the classroom feeling confident.
Organized. Every DTA event is well thought-out and implemented in a clean, organized way. And our support team? They’re the best in their class. Other companies should be jealous of our organization.
Flexible. MasteryPrep can deliver DTA for any combination of teachers, or in separate sessions for individual subjects. No matter the chosen format, customers will be happy to know that everyone comes away with the same skills and concepts. All participants will walk out coordinated and on the same page.
How It Works:
We know how to boost scores schoolwide.
In this one-day course, teachers will learn everything they need to understand what the ACT measures and how it is scored.
The Decoding the ACT guide provides teachers with strategies for incorporating test-taking skills into their everyday core curriculum and motivating students to succeed on the ACT and in academics in general. Using our 3 pillars of mastery, teachers are equipped to prepare students to achieve a college-ready score on the ACT.

Decoding the ACT is a professional development program designed by MasteryPrep to help educators improve the ACT score outcomes of their students.
Decoding the ACT is not an official ACT program.
Demopolis High School serves 722 students. 60% come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and 51% belong to a racial minority.
Demopolis launched its ACT score improvement initiative with an onsite Decoding the ACT professional development program, and the results were immediate. In 2017, 15.1% of sophomores scored on track for readiness on the ACT Aspire test in math and 12.43% in science. In 2018, after the PD, readiness for those same students improved to over 40% in math and 25.7% in science.
All twenty-four attendees at Demopolis High School rated the session a perfect five out of five!
