  Case: Too many tests!
Our school district has so many tests! We do standard based report cards so an average of 30 grades per report card. We also have quarterly benchmarks, SLOs at the beginning of the year, COGATS, and STAR Reading, Early Literacy, and Math assessments. It is so tough to encourage kids to give their best on all of these because they are tired of tests!!! Does anyone have tips to get them excited?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One solution could be having your students set goals for their tests. That way they are working towards a goal that they set. That may be a little motivating!

Comments: This is a great solution. I think setting personal goals is intrinsically rewarding and will excite students. Maybe provide rewards if they meet their goals.

Comments: I think setting goals for tests will get repetitive and redundant. Test goals usually are the same so considering the amount of tests they need to complete, I don't believe this solution will be beneficial.
