SUMMARY:SAT Prep Matters
DESCRIPTION:Program Description\nOnline SAT Prep Matters and SAT Boot Camp are new courses designed by Dr Mary Smyth\, a long-time SAT coach in the Midcoast. College-bound high school juniors who plan to take the SAT test will benefit from learning about the new format and updated content of the new SAT. \n“I am actually a fan of the new SAT\,” says Dr. Smyth. She explained the test is shorter (2 hours 15 minutes total) and questions are individualized to each student. The digital approach allows the test to “react” to the student’s prior answers and change the difficulty level. The reading passages are shorter and there is a combined section with both reading and grammar questions included. The test also has a visible built-in timer and a calculator and graphing program available for all the math questions. \nThe new test will require a whole new approach to studying and practicing. While there are free resources available on Khan Academy\, most students will need guidance in understanding how to approach the test. For instance\, students can attempt a math problem by using any of several techniques: graph the problem\, write out the algebra steps\, or try the answers to see which one fits. Knowing how to navigate between those options will give students more strategies and can increase their scores. \n“With this new SAT format\, I am amazed how much teaching I can do to help students solidify knowledge they have been exposed to in high school\, “ says Smyth. “Students have to be able to use what they have learned to solve problems. That is the name of the game in the SAT.” \nDr. Mary Smyth’s SAT Boot Camp has been used successfully to prepare students to take the SAT for many years. Students attend class every day during a school vacation week and practice taking short sections of the test. Students are relaxed and well-rested\, so they are able to absorb the lessons and practice at their best. \nProgram Benefits\nUsing lessons that she writes herself\, Smyth has helped many students through their own hard work improve their SAT scores by 100-200 points. \nWho Should Enroll\nCollege-bound high school juniors who plan to take the SAT test. \nProgram Details\nInstructor\nDr. Mary Smyth \nEducation:\nA.B. Biochemistry\, Smith College M.D. University of Pennsylvania \nWork History:\nWatershed School Math Instructor\nMiddle School Math Team Coach\nGifted and Talented Math Instructor\, SAD 5\nTutor\, SAD 28 and CSD High School\nPrivate tutoring\, SAT and PSAT\, ACT\, IB Math\, AP Calculus\, GRE and GMAT prep\, and individual support for school classwork grades 2-12\nHealth and parenting newsletter editor\, writer\nPrivate practice – pediatrician \nDates and Times\nSAT Prep Matters — Preparing for the September 13 & October 4th test dates\nMondays and Wednesdays: August 25\, 27 & September 3\, 8\, 10\, 2025\n6–7:30 p.m. ET \nModality\nThis dynamic program will be offered synchronously via Zoom—you’ll need access to a stable internet connection.

SUMMARY:SAT Prep Matters
DESCRIPTION:Program Description\nOnline SAT Prep Matters and SAT Boot Camp are new courses designed by Dr Mary Smyth\, a long-time SAT coach in the Midcoast. College-bound high school juniors who plan to take the SAT test will benefit from learning about the new format and updated content of the new SAT. \n“I am actually a fan of the new SAT\,” says Dr. Smyth. She explained the test is shorter (2 hours 15 minutes total) and questions are individualized to each student. The digital approach allows the test to “react” to the student’s prior answers and change the difficulty level. The reading passages are shorter and there is a combined section with both reading and grammar questions included. The test also has a visible built-in timer and a calculator and graphing program available for all the math questions. \nThe new test will require a whole new approach to studying and practicing. While there are free resources available on Khan Academy\, most students will need guidance in understanding how to approach the test. For instance\, students can attempt a math problem by using any of several techniques: graph the problem\, write out the algebra steps\, or try the answers to see which one fits. Knowing how to navigate between those options will give students more strategies and can increase their scores. \n“With this new SAT format\, I am amazed how much teaching I can do to help students solidify knowledge they have been exposed to in high school\, “ says Smyth. “Students have to be able to use what they have learned to solve problems. That is the name of the game in the SAT.” \nDr. Mary Smyth’s SAT Boot Camp has been used successfully to prepare students to take the SAT for many years. Students attend class every day during a school vacation week and practice taking short sections of the test. Students are relaxed and well-rested\, so they are able to absorb the lessons and practice at their best. \nProgram Benefits\nUsing lessons that she writes herself\, Smyth has helped many students through their own hard work improve their SAT scores by 100-200 points. \nWho Should Enroll\nCollege-bound high school juniors who plan to take the SAT test. \nProgram Details\nInstructor\nDr. Mary Smyth \nEducation:\nA.B.

SUMMARY:Maine Dairy Grazing Workshop Series: How to Write a Grazing Management Plan
DESCRIPTION:91±¬ÁĎ Cooperative Extension\, the Maine Grass Farmers Network\, the National Grazing Land Coalition\, and Northern Tilth announce a three-day series of workshops focused on pasture and forage management on August 26\, 27 and 28. These hands-on workshops are designed to help farmers\, graziers and landowners improve their grazing practices and soil health. \nTroy Bishopp\, Practical Grass Whisperer and Northeastern Region Resource Manager\, will lead the workshop series. With decades of experience in pasture management\, grazing plan design and training\, Bishopp is a nationally-recognized expert. He will be joined by Graham Mallory\, practical farmer and Northern Tilth consultant\, and Jaime Garzon\, assistant Extension professor and forage educator\, to provide additional expertise about Maine-specific livestock production\, forage identification and grazing management planning. The workshops are free to attend and are designed as stand alone workshops or as a series on managed dairy grazing. \nThe first workshop will be held from 10 a.m.–noon on Monday\, August 26\, at The Milkhouse\, a certified organic dairy farm in Monmouth. This pasture walk will be a practical discussion on regenerative pasture management\, including grazing\, forage and weed identification\, and strategies for efficient fencing. \nOn Tuesday\, August 27\, the workshop moves to Reed Farm in Windsor. This session\, from 10 a.m.–noon\, aims to equip farmers with the knowledge and tools needed for effective grazing planning and pasture management. Presenters will delve into the key considerations for creating a robust grazing plan\, offering practical insights into how to read the land from a farmer’s perspective. \nThe series concludes on Wednesday\, August 28 from 9 a.m.–noon at Wolfe’s Neck Center in Freeport\, with a discussion to build upon key planning procedures\, economics and strategic decision-making. This session will teach participants how to use a grazing chart effectively\, explore methods for handling unexpected challenges and build resilience into your operation. By the end\, participants will have a clear understanding of what a grazing plan looks like in action and the practical nuances of day-to-day management. \nVisit the event webpage for more information and to register. To request a reasonable accommodation\, contact Melissa Babcock at 207.581.2788 or melissa.libby1@maine.edu. \nThese workshops are a part of the education series supported by the collaboration of the New England Grazing Network with funding from the USDA Grazing Land Conservation Initiative.
