All Miami Beach youth will have free access to the program throughout Summer 2021 by self
enrolling at the following link: https://methodize.methodlearning.com/school/join/z3jqs7m
This online SAT and ACT prep platform is utilized by over 1,200 high schools and other
organizations across the country. Inside the platform youth will have access to over 50 hours of
comprehensive test prep broken down into easy to follow Units, Lessons, and Quizzes. Youth
that complete the program typically see increases of 150 points on their SAT and 3 points on
their ACT. Skill and performance tracking allow youth to understand their unique areas of
weakness and identify the specific skills necessary to improve their scores. Lessons are
designed to cater to a multitude of learning styles and contain both audio and video
components, as well as embedded questions that provide youth with immediate feedback and
detailed explanations. Accessible on any data enabled or internet connected device, youth can
begin improving their scores in as little as 15 minutes a day.
For the 2021-22 school year, professional development opportunities will be available to Miami
Beach public school staff who plan to utilize the platform during the school year.
We will continue to support our vision of being a prosperous city with a special flavor of arts,
culture, education, and business with management objectives of being known for (K-12)
educational excellence. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Leslie
Rosenfeld at leslierosenfeld@miamibeachfl.gov.
