Not only will we be discussing the topic, we will also come up with strategies to beat testing anxiety. The goal is that all students leave the class having less anxiety when they take their next test!
The covered topics will be 
-What is testing anxiety

-Strategies to beating testing anxiety 

I have struggled with testing anxiety my entire life. I always wondered why me and why I couldn't overcome it, so I began to research it! I also have worked with students who struggle with testing anxiety for all different kinds of reasons. I have worked with them to get through testing anxiety and not feel so apprehensive about taking an assessment. My goal is to help all students walk into a test and feel confident!

Learning Goals

Students will gain an understanding on what testing anxiety is and how to overcome it through discussion!

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have always struggled with testing anxiety! I am extensively trained in social emotional learning. Each year, the school district I work for provides us with specific training for social emotional learning! I also work hand and hand with my schools student advocate to create an inclusion club where we discuss mental health and inclusion, so I am used to having these tough conversations. I have also been a teacher for 4 school years and every Friday we do social emotional Friday. Where we discuss emotions, grades, mental health, and everything that is going on in our lives, so that I can make my students feel heard. Social Emotional learning is one of my key passions. 

I am a certified secondary education teacher. I am certified to work with students from the 7th grade all the way up to 12th grade. I have been in the middle school setting now for 4 years, but have a lot of training with the high school setting as well as I work closely with some passed students as they flourish in high school. I also did teach 2 high school courses during my student teaching, so I do have a lot of practice with high school aged as well as middle school aged students.
