SD ACT State Council
Up

 

 

Although NOT a committee of the Dakota ACAC, the ACT State Council does work on many of the same issues as DACAC, and its membership includes many of the same individuals and organizations that also work with DACAC on its mission of improving the high school to college transition process.

During the past few months, one project of the State ACT Council has been to promote the taking of the ACT test by all South Dakota juniors, as a supplement or possible replacement for other state testing programs.  As part of that process the Council requested the ACT National Office to prepare a a match of the ACT test with the South Dakota State Standards and that document can be reviewed at http://www.act.org/education/statematch/

In addition, the Council conducted a survey in early 2008 of South Dakota high school counselors asking for their guidance on the issue, and a summary of that survey can be viewed by clicking here for the survey report.

Current members of the SD ACT Council are listed below.
