Case: Extrinsic factors impacting student performance
A Social Studies teacher in a suburban middle school notices a student who participates in class room discussions frequently, answers verbal high- and low-level questions regarding the content accurately, and performs well on classroom activities consistently performs poorly on major tests, especially the quarterly district benchmark exams. When observing the student during actual testing, she notes that the student spends a large amount of time staring off into space, and scrambles to answer most of the questions in the last few minutes of the testing time frame. The student has no identified attention disorder, but the teacher feels that the student's benchmark scores are not an accurate depiction of the student's actual abilities. How should the teacher address the discrepancy between scores and classroom performance?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First I would meet with the other teachers in the grade level to see if this is the same for each of the student's subject areas. If it is the case then meet with the counselor who might be able to help with text anxiety strategies. These strategies should be shared with all of the Middle School kids. We need to start empowering students with strategies they can use based on their learning styles instead of jumping to the conclusion that the student might have an attention disorder. |

| Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this because I think we put so much pressure on testing and it is preventing our students from performing academically and we should make sure the students are getting the resources they need to test well. |
