Higher standards and greater accountability have brought an alarming rise in test anxiety. To help students pass mandated assessments, teachers drill on facts and give endless practice tests. But teaching to the test isn't enough. High-stakes testing creates high anxiety which, in turn, lowers performance. Educators need to do more. They need to prepare their students emotionally! Test Anxiety & What You Can Do About It by Joseph Casbarro offers constructive, powerful and proven strategies that:

Identify root causes of test anxiety
Reduce physical/emotional symptoms
Increase concentration/attention.
Finally, there is a resource that can help address test anxiety in a practical way that will ultimately result in higher test scores. Learn about techniques to use during the pre-testing, test-in-progress and post-testing phases. Helpful tips on how to work with anxious parents are also included.
