RE: Students With Test Anxiety? What To Do As A Teacher?
OMG! Yas to this whole post.
Last year I was in a second grade classroom and now this year they have moved myself and the Teacher that I assist to the Third Grade which is a state testing year. The Teacher has test anxiety herself so it was hard for both us to think about this year and preparing kids for getting ready for such a huge test in their lives.
But after the first day we have put the mentality in our minds to make sure they are prepared for challenges and not giving up. A lot of them have tough motivation issues stemming from an inability to get help at home from someone who understands the material so everything is through us. We're going to make warriors of them yet. <3
That's really great you all are working so hard to help the kids get through the tests. Those state tests can be so stressful, especially the first years doing them. I hope the tests go well and thanks for stopping by and reading my post. I appreciate the great comment!
