R.A.C.E. to a strong constructed response!
The Common Core curriculum and new Milestones testing model call for students to be able to go beyond simply answering a question by citing and explaining evidence to support their thinking. Being able to support our opinions and ideas is, however, is bigger than 5th grade and testing - it is something we must be able to do as part of every day life!
The R.A.C.E. strategy helps make sure we are including the important elements of a strong answer! This method can be used to answer short constructed response questions for any subject area. We've discussed and worked with the R.A.C.E. strategy heavily at school and will continue to support students in using it across all classes. We encourage you to do the same at home.
