Happy Testing Shakopee Teachers!
We are on our 3rd day of testing at Sun Path. We are testing the Reading MCA. My kids are doing great and are really trying their best. I am very proud of them. Of course, I have the occasional students who are speeding through the test and spend the rest of the time sitting there staring at the wall. In fourth grade we have the students sit at their desks rather that work on something or read afterwards. This has helped with kids taking their time as there is nothing to "rush" for.
Any ideas how to motivate my speedy test takers to slow down? Today, I think I may require all books to stay open until a certain time.

Leann,
ReplyDeleteI told my students there was no incentive for rushing. I encouraged them to do their personal best.
Like you, I had a couple that were speedy, but for the most part they made a great effort to take it slow and read carefully.
At least on the Math portion I told them they had show their thinking so that forced them to slow down a bit.
