<p class="p1">This week on the podcast, we’re continuing our conversation about how to prepare your students for state standardized testing. In part one of this series, <a href="https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/test-taking-strategies"><span class="s1">episode 232</span></a>, we talked about test-taking strategies in language arts. In part two, <a href= "https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/test-taking-strategies-math"><span class="s1"> episode 233</span></a>, I shared test-taking strategies in math. I recommend going back and listening to those episodes first if you haven’t already!</p> <p class="p1">Now it’s time to focus specifically on how we can calm, prepare, and inspire your students for assessments in the weeks leading up to testing. I’m sharing five strategies that you can use to do just that.</p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Show Notes: <a href= "https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/calm-and-prepare-students">https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/calm-and-prepare-students</a></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Sign up for my FREE masterclass, What They Don't Teach You in College About Setting Up and Organizing Your Classroom, Preparing for the School year, & Creating a Positive Classroom Management Plan That Works: <a href= "https://www.drlorifriesen.com/masterclass" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.drlorifriesen.com/masterclass</a> </p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Join our Beginning Teacher Talk Private FB Group now: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/</a></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Check out Lori's TpT store (Beginning Teacher Talk):<br /> <a href= "https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk">https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk</a> </span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s2">Connect with Lori on Pinterest: <a href= "https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/">https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/</a></
