• Key is to make sure the students learn what is required to answer the questions related to the IC3 syllabus
• Using the benchmark will give you a measure of what your students already know• You only need to test the students for the IC3 Module you are
going to teach in the current term• You can test the students on one Domain at a time in an IC3 Module
• You can focus what you teach on where the Benchmark indicates remediation is required
Classroom Strategy - 3
• Use the Mentor to:• Re-test the students

• Teach the IC3 topic using the e-book assist feature in the Mentor
• Re-test the students again
