Growing Excellence (+10 for ALL)
With STAAR beginning in 2 weeks for THS and 3 weeks for TES and TMS, I have a few questions for you.
- Do your students know what their +10 goal for improvement is?
- Do your students know what they need to do to reach their +10 goal?
- What is your +10 goal for improvement this year?
- What motivational strategies will you use to get your kids excited, inspired and confident that they can reach their +10 goal?
Remember, motivation adds 5 to 10 points to the test, and the more motivated and confident kids are, the more likely it is that they will reach their goal.
