St. Clair County RESA continues its tradition of creating teacher-friendly materials that target Michigan’s Grade Level Content Expectations and the MEAP.

 

Our first product, Toolbox 1, is designed for use during the first days of school as teachers prepare students for the fall MEAP. Each toolbox is a review of the GLCEs addressed in previous grades.

 

Toolbox 2, is designed for mid-year use because each toolbox addresses current grade GLCEs. After MEAP results are returned to schools, staff members can analyze their data to determine which students need remediation on which topics. They can also determine which grade-level topics need a curricular spotlight. ELA Toolbox 2 consists of Toolbox 2A–Writing from Knowledge and Experience and Toolbox 2B–Editing and Revising in Context and Peer Response; the writing sections of the ELA MEAP.

 

Our newest product, Toolbox 3 , is designed for use throughout the school year. ELA Toolbox 3 consists of Toolbox 3A-Writing in Response to Reading and Toolbox 3B-Comprehension Strategies: Profundity, QAR, Reciprocal Teaching, Thinking Routines,  Reading Response Logs and How to Use the Comprehension Strategies Posters.

 

Toolbox 1:  Designed for MEAP preparation

 

Toolbox 2:  Designed to analyze your areas of need as dictated by the MEAP

 

Toolbox 3: Strategies and lessons to use throughout the school year 

 

Persuasive Writing Toolboxes: Designed to help teach Persuasive Writing in 8th grade through 11th grade.
