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!)
Megan, I would try giving her the assessment without calling it a test or quiz to see how she performs. Also, I would speak to her teachers from last year to see what worked or did not work to gain potential successful strategies. Importantly, look up strategies for test anxiety with her to allow her control over the tips she chooses. This way she can take ownership over the new intervention. |

Comments: I like this solution. Sometimes just knowing a student is taking a test gives them anxiety. Calling it an assignment might help reduce the stress level. Finding strategies for test anxiety is a good suggestion as well. |

Comments: I agree with this statement because talking to teachers from last year will help determine what is happening now and if this was a pattern. I would definitely look up some text anxiety techniques as we have noticed there are so many good resources online that might assist. |

Comments: Changing the name from "test" to something else is a great solution. I did it with my middle school math class and students lost their fear to face their quizzes. |
