So I have been teaching at the same high school now for two years and it seems year three=packed responsibilities. The first 2 years they only had me teaching first grade and I taught one extra class at night. Now year three includes teaching 1st year, 2nd year and a  teacher class. I also have been urged by my school's principal to encourage my students to open up to studying at university abroad in the United States. I have no problems teaching preparation classes for the SAT I, SAT II and ACT but I'm wondering if anyone else is in a similar position and can provide feedback into what tools and methods they use to help their interested students. I have had one student come up to me with ambitions of Stanford. I'm just wondering if I'm in over my head with this.   ???

That there are brilliant kids mixed with average is the problem I'm facing. It definitely might become  one on one counseling sessions during lunch or an after school gig. My principal is the main person pushing us to encourage students to try going abroad.  At present I'm contacting schools near where I hail from (Atlanta, Ga) to send me brochures and information the students can get their hands on. I'm also printing off sample SAT essays and building some lessons around that. If all goes well, I will post some ideas and plans for teachers that run into similar situations.
