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 have actually heard from teachers that the opposite works - to treat them like an every day occurrence. In doing this, there is no special hype to stress them out. The students can actually do the work the way they normally would.
