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!) I have the exact same issue with a student who is in my honors U.S. History class. I feel very confused as to why this student is mastering the standards when i give informal assessments, but during the formal assessments they fail. I decided that this student, their parents and a counselor needed to meet before school. They have since taken the initiative to get this student additional testing based on their grades and the meeting. So far the student's grade has remained stagnant, but I do feel the student is not as stressed as he was before the meeting.
