RACE to successful answers
At GMS, we are teaching students to respond to questions using the acronym, RACE. This format helps students to think about to frame their answer and develop reasoned and well thought out responses to questions rather than unsupported statements of opinions and simple statements of fact. This is the major goal and focus of this class.
