Strategies to Help Students Manage Testing Anxiety

TMSA scholars in grades 3 - 8 are embarking upon the 2021 Georgia Milestones. Mr. Adam Adebisi, TMSA's Math Instructional Coach advises the following strategies to help students manage potential test anxiety:
 
  • Students should take several minutes to write as openly as possible about their thoughts and feelings regarding the upcoming Georgia Milestones. In their writings, students should explore their emotions and thoughts as they prepare for the assessments.   
  • Next, students may take advantage of movement and exercise as shown in the graphic to help reduce text anxiety.
