  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 would definitely try a reward. Maybe a classroom movie or field trip to their favorite place. Something to ease their mental frustration after all of those tests. Trust me, if I had a reward like that in high school after those tests, I would always be excited for tests!
