This interactive professional development session equips educators with practical strategies for using the TSIA Bell Ringer Book to its fullest potential. Participants will explore the structure and purpose of each component—including the pretest, guided practice, daily skill practice, Friday Skill Snapshots, and student success tracking—and learn how to use the resources to identify skill gaps, monitor growth, and provide targeted support.

Educators will experience selected activities from a student perspective, practice effective ways to facilitate and review bell ringers, and plan how to incorporate the book into existing classroom routines without sacrificing instructional time. The session will also highlight opportunities to reinforce college-readiness skills across daily instruction and move students from guided practice toward independent application.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with an implementation plan for using the TSIA Bell Ringer Book consistently, intentionally, and efficiently to build student readiness over time.
