Package 3: Test-Taking, Thinking, and Analytical Reasoning Skills
Test results often underestimate students' knowledge and skills because some students haven't learned how to take tests or how to think about what they know in relation to more analytical problems.
This package prepares teachers to teach a set of skills that enable effective test-taking, thinking, and reflective analytical reasoning.
