ACT
At Nassau BOCES, we support the following ACT Assessments and Services:
ACT WorkKeys:
ACT WorkKeys® assessments are the cornerstone of ACT workforce solutions. The assessments measure foundational skills required for success in the workplace and help measure the workplace skills that can affect job performance. Each assessment offers varying levels of difficulty, as the levels build on each other, incorporating the skills assessed at the previous levels. The complexity increases as the quantity and/or density of the information increases. Assessments are web-based, and most take one hour. They are offered in both English and Spanish.
ACT WorkKeys Curriculum:
ACT WorkKeys Curriculum helps individuals build the essential career-relevant skills needed for learning, personal development and effective job performance. It is the only curriculum built from the ground up to align with the WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate® assessments.
The courses are delivered via a personalized, mobile-based learning management system. The platform delivers a meaningful learning experience and provides users with a customized study schedule and detailed instructional content.

Each observation toolkit is customized as prescribed by individual school districts. In addition, the Highly Effective Developing Ineffective (HEDI) summation forms and teacher profile cards automate the entire evaluation recording progress of individual teachers for all components of the teacher evaluation.
