Case: Self-Esteem
I have a particular student who does great in class. She participates, completes homework, loves to come to the board and is excited to learn. However, when it comes to assessments, she freezes. She literally can't do the work unless I stand over her throughout the test. She has no self-confidence in the exams. She stays after and can find all her mistakes and rework without me. I believe she needs testing modifications and have spoken with a counselor on this matter and no help. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is really hard to see a student who knows what they are doing, however, testing holds them back from showing it. It is a shame that testing has the power to scare students and make them forget everything. I would probably take the approach of having her test in a small group if at all possible and emphasize that there are no testing time requirements or have her come back during activity time to work on the test. I would also talk with her one on one and explain that you are just using the assessment as a guide to confirm what she already knows. Try your best to build her confidence in that she already knows the content and that there really isn't anything to fret over. I might would even give her a piece of gum or peppermint and tell her that this is to help her mind remember. She might find comfort in something like that and separate away from relying on you and it may help her focus. |
