Understand the basics of RICA here
Overview
This site is meant as a companion guide to the book(s) you are already using. I highly recommend using Ready for Rica as a guide book, but it's not necessary. The Cliffnotes version guide for RICA is also a good read.

This is a work in progress, so if anyone has any additional sources they would like to add, please email me and I will try to update this. I hope to have this webpage up for future student teachers. My goal is for us all to pass our RICA (as well as our EdTPA). The good news is, there's some good overlap with our language arts EdTPA and what the RICA prepares you for.
