Testing season right around the corner? Test prep not as organized as you would like? Keep reading for more tips and strategies to make your life and that of your students easier.
Testing season can
be the toughest on a teacher. Either
external testing pressures, school accountability, or internal turmoil on
student progress, can make this a truly stressful time for teachers and
students alike. I remember the constant stress and pressure of ensuring my
students knew the information, could fill out a bubble sheet, and correctly
answer open response items. I would constantly recite the mantra that the test
is a piece of paper and encourage my students not to fear it at all.
While not in my own
classroom, I have had the privilege of leading a professional development
community for a small group of upper elementary first year teachers. In our
last session, we focused on test prep and preparing ourselves, our kids, and
our classroom for meaningful practice.
The following blog
posts break down the process of getting ready and ensuring your students are
prepared for T Day.
