The First Five and Testing
Days and weeks surrounding testing can be stressful for both students and teachers. The good news is that several components of The First Five can be especially helpful in supporting students through the pressure and emotions that often come with testing. Even when time feels limited, these moments are worth it.
Check-Ins:
Taking a moment to see how students are feeling gives us valuable insight into what they may need to be successful. Even a brief check-in after a test can help identify students who may need extra encouragement or reassurance because they’re feeling unsure about their performance.
Positivity:
It’s easy for negative thoughts to take over during testing, like ‘I didn’t study enough,’ ‘I won’t understand the questions,’ or ‘I’m going to fail.’ These thoughts can spread quickly and become self-fulfilling. Intentionally sharing positive affirmations or inviting students to name something encouraging before a test can help shift the classroom mindset from fear to focus and optimism.
Mindfulness:
Stress and anxiety often go hand-in-hand with test-taking. A few deep breaths or a short mindful moment before and after a test can help students reset, regulate their emotions, and return to a place of calm where they can do their best.
Small moments of intentional connection can make a big difference, especially during high-stress times.
