SOL and PALS Testings--keep calm and test on
We all have a role to play in order to have a successful testing environment.
While we all understand the importance of great instruction, we also need to be great models for our students of calmness, composure, and confidence. This should be modeled at all times by all staff members. Our hallways should remain quiet. There have been times when our students have been calm and quiet in hallways, but we have staff members who are not. Similarly, there have been times when the child's classroom teacher is exhibiting all of these traits, but the student encounters another teacher in the hallway or another classroom who is not. A student who is calm, composed and confident has a much better chance at being successful.
Thus, keep calm and test on.
