Encouraging Engagement During Testing Season
Testing season can be disruptive, but teachers can use it as a chance to try instructional strategies that boost student engagement.
With the state testing season right around the corner, teachers across the United States are preparing students for testing. That means they’re also considering ways to keep early finishers quiet and what to teach during non-testing time to provide a break from the rigors of test taking. There’s no doubt that the pressure to do well on standardized tests can cause stress and exhaustion in the classroom (for teachers and students alike). However, this time can also be an opportunity for teachers to find creative ways to engage students throughout the test-taking season.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
