  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!)
Remind them of the end of each quarter. Remind them that each test that is done is one less that they will have to take in the future. Once these tests are done, the students should be promised a fun carefree day to reward them for participation.
