[Counselors] FW: question for the counselor's board

[Kelly Jennings]

Broken Bow has a district-wide pep assembly a week before testing with each school doing skits to rev up the students and faculty.  It's usually a lot of fun for the kids as the superintendant, principals, teachers and staff go all out to be goofy and have fun with a focus on doing your best on the tests.   Also, Rector Johnson Middle School has a theme...2 years ago it was Don't Worry, Test Happy (with the Don't Worry music) and last hear it was Stop the Test.  Teachers wore t-shirts printed with the theme.

Subject: question for the counselor's board

I was wondering what ideas everyone had for getting student's and teacher's excited (I know it's a stretch..LOL) about taking the OCCT's and EOI's.  I read the responses  for the rewards (Thank you for sharing those--lots of GREAT ideas), but I was curious how you get your kids motivated and excited before testing occurs.  I have a few ideas, but was curious to know what other schools do?

Thank you!
