Tips for helping a student who can ace questions in class and on homework assignments but fails or scapes by on every test? Parents had the student evaluated for anxiety and adhd with no real results. Student says they just "don't like" taking doing tests or quizzes and I'm not sure how to help when I know they know the material.

Have you tried chunking the test? Maybe have the student do one page at a time, turn that page in, take a small break, and then get the next page?

smart

Have them come in at lunch and ask them the questions and let them respond orally

It may seem unfair, but maybe try letting them take the quiz/test over lunch break or a free period to see if being around others is the issue? Otherwise I'm not sure, obviously they can't just be excused from every test.

I allow my students to take assessments twice. Way less anxiety.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

Thoughts on Engage NY/Eureka math...

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
