Tips for Improvement
•Teach your curriculum year-round! •Don’t limit yourselves to teaching the assessable content. •Don’t “drill and kill” just before the test! •Watch for “Released Items” on our website (www.michigan.gov/meap) •Compare scoring guides to the rumors about how “you, too, can raise your MEAP scores.”•Call us to check on rumors. Rumor control is a big part of our job!
