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!)
I think we are looking for ways to treat the symptoms, instead of fighting the cause of the symptoms. Yes, by that I mean that we are over testing our students. I understand that as teachers we have to abide by the guidelines set forth. But we do have a voice, and it may take time and a lot of voices, but we can have an effect on the amount of testing we are administering. |

| Comments: This doesn't answer the Case; the question was how to motivate students and get them excited for the tests they have to take. |

| Comments: While I agree the use of over-testing is a negative implement, this did not answer the questions being asked. |
