Overcoming Testing Anxiety

Just like the beauty of spring can also bring allergy symptoms to some, testing may be intended to to see student growth and achievement but can also bring symptoms of anxiety and stress to many.

Our students demonstrate their learning in various ways at ICS, from classroom assessments, projects, collaborative learning, and more. State testing is a reality and we value this as one piece of data. We prepare our students and approach this as an opportunity for the 3rd through 5th graders going through the exams to show off their learning.
