How is Passage Preparation different from other test preparation methods/providers?
Nathan Estel: Passage preparation courses are built by teachers and for teachers. And let me take just a moment to unpack what that means. Yes, we have full time staff that are working on our in our content development team. But they're working with practicing teachers and teacher educators who've been charged with looking at the content, the domains and the competencies that are covered on any particular licensure test and explaining that and explaining it in a way that's important to an early career or first year teacher. So we say to them, imagine you were talking to a first year teacher and you're trying to explain to them numbers and operations. Yes, you could just explain to them numbers and operations, but explain it from the context of why it's important in the classroom. Why do your students, why do you need to know this kind of information so that your students will understand it better? But we take it a step further. A lot of other providers rely on a drill and kill method of just a asking, asking a series of questions and getting you familiar with the types of questions that you're going to be asked on the high stakes licensure test. We do that too, but we do it as a compliment to the rich content that we provide. That helps to explain again what content is gonna be covered on the test and why that content is important in the classroom.
