Ready or not, test prep season is here! If you’re feeling a little anxious or unsure about the best way to prepare for state testing, I’ve got you covered! I’m dedicating the entire month of March to helping you prepare your students for state testing. This week kicks off a 4-part series that will each cover a different phase of preparing for state testing. I’ll share what I did in the early stages of test prep, the week before testing, including a Glow Day, and ideas for the day after state testing. In this week’s episode, I explain the importance of planning a test simulation day for students. The purpose of this day is to get out their jitters, review special rules and strategies specific to state testing, answer all of their questions about testing, and practice taking a timed test in an environment similar to state testing. I also share my go-to time-filler in the Teaching Tip of the Week.
