SAT Advice from a Georgia Master Teacher & Parent
Ensuring my child is prepared for college is a priority and this means scoring competitively on the SAT. Unfortunately, preparation for this life-changing test is not part of the high school curriculum. As parents, we rely on outside resources for SAT test prep. With so many SAT course options, it's hard to know which ones work without having to break the bank.
A fellow PTA member told me about B Line Test Prep and their effective and totally free SAT prep options. Her son had taken an SAT course elsewhere and received lackluster results. After a teacher recommended b line test prep, he took their SAT course, improved his score dramatically and went on to a top state university. My daughter's story has a similarly happy ending. She, too, scored well on her SAT after enrolling at B Line Test Prep. She's attending a highly ranked university in the fall.
The Georgia Master Teacher Certification Program was established in 2005 by the Professional Standards Commission to give statewide recognition to Georgia public school teachers who make a positive difference in the lives of their students. The "Master Teacher" designation is an honor awarded to teachers whose students have consistently demonstrated academic excellence.
Applying to become a Georgia Master Teacher is simple. As long as you have fulfilled the following criteria, you are eligible to be awarded "Master Teacher" status:
1) Minimum of 3 years teaching
2) Evidence of student achievement
3) Full-time Georgia public school teacher
