• Student workbooks originally published by Alpha Plus in the 1990s as a means to an end: improving student mastery of PASS standards.
• Prepare to PASS became a staple of teachers using the Alpha Plus model.
• When Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS) were adopted in 2016, teachers began asking for new “Prepare to PASS” books.
