Re: What did everyone think of the MCT2 test?
Posted by girl in gulfport on 5/12/07
We did it last Thursday. All I can say is teachers really need to be familiar with the new frameworks and really look at all the sample items available. There is alot more higher thinking from what I could tell. I didn't really look at the questions except when a student asked me a question, but it seems to me that teachers are going to have to move away from teaching the test to teaching using literature that makes them think. They are also going to have to make students can answer the "why" behind what they do, and they are going to need to do alot of writing to develop those higher level thinking skills. It will be interesting to see how the levels work out next year. There are going to be some Level 5's dropping for sure!
