Name a way teachers might use MICA in the classroom during the school year.
What is Have teachers make a test with all the test items and take it personally to better understand the content expectations of the test. Use a few questions as a pre-test and/or post-test to find out what students know before and after a unit. Use a question as an exit ticket after a lesson or assign problems for homework. Use several questions as a center as part of center rotation. Use a question to create a classroom learning probe. Assign one question to the class and walk through it together to learn the features. Use problems as part of a larger formal assessment. Assign problems during intervention or enrichment time. Create individualized quizzes based on student areas of improvement or use relevant questions on a chapter or unit test. Create a common test-let with other grade level or PLC teachers and review results together.
