Please be sure to visit with these students for they have sacrificed part of their Sunday to share their summer research projects with you.

Thanks,

Barry Lofton
SWASAP Past President

Museum Café

Oklahoma City Museum of Art

415 Couch Drive

Oklahoma City, OK 73102

 

We invite you to learn about the Unified Testing Readiness Initiative (UTRI) in schools and programs that wish to boost graduation rates and send more students on to college and graduate school. The central focus of UTRI is the “family resemblance” of standardized exams, including state exams; the EXPLORE®-PLAN®-ACT® tests; the SAT and PSAT/NMSQT tests; and the GRE® test. A global and comprehensive program of testing readiness leverages the “family traits” to create a single, unified plan to improve student achievement on standardized exams from middle school through high school, and even in college and graduate school. Cambridge has pioneered the development of UTRI at more than 400 schools and TRiO programs across the country.

 

SWASAP Directors and Program Coordinators must RSVP in advance. To view the agenda and RSVP, visit us at www.cambridgeed.com/meet-us, e-mail RSVP@cambridgeed.com, or contact Meghan Cutherell at (800) 444-4373 ext. 226 no later than October 24th. Due to space limitations, a max of two representatives per program is allowed (no guests). Only open to SWASAP Directors and Program Coordinators.

 

* Reservations must be taken in advance of the day of the dinner as seating capacity is very limited. Private companies are not included in this invitation. The above cited marks are property of their respective owners.
