By the morning of a big test, most teachers have put in hours of preparation, teaching, and extra help to make sure their students learn the material, and by the morning of a big test, many think there’s nothing more they can do to help prepare their students.
Yet Chandi Langford, a fifth-grade teacher in New Jersey’s Woodbury School System, knew teaching the material was only one way to prepare her students as all those hours learning and studying would mean nothing if her students weren’t confident and comfortable.
In order to ease her student’s anxiety and nerves, Chandi decided to write personal messages in erasable whiteboard marker on each desk as well as lay out two munchkins for a quick snack before handing out the test.
Chandi’s messages were all motivational, but were all unique for each child. On one student’s desk, Chandi wrote “Lis, Remember, there is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs! You got this!”
