Mastery for High Stakes Testing

Help me give my students models, flashcards, and more for a better shot at graduation by passing high stakes tests!

My Project

My state requires students pass the Biology I state test to graduate from high school. After working hard all school year, students deserve a fun, engaging, yet effective review period before testing!

High stakes testing is what it is.

Help me help my students overcome this obstacle to graduation! These review games and activities with models will refresh their memories in a way that will engage, even during the burnout that we all hit right at the end of the school year.

Students get overwhelmed at the end of the year with multiple days of testing and reviewing. Keeping them engaged during review is essential. I've had some of these materials at my other schools and they were very effective at increasing engagement, retention, and on-task discussions among students so I have no doubt my current group of students will benefit from these materials as well!
