Test Preparation: A Teacher's Guide

The stakes of standardized tests continue to rise for teachers, students, administrators, and even state and local elected officials. Increased accountability creates top-down anxiety for teachers as well as students. In this laminated guide, Dr. Joseph Casbarro, author of the book "Test Anxiety and What You Can Do About It," provides teachers with simple strategies for helping students in four key areas: mastery of content, study skills, test-taking skills, stress management to alleviate test anxiety. This practical classroom tool will help teachers walk the fine line between sufficiently preparing students for standardized tests and merely teaching to the test.
