State Testing Motivation School Assembly:
“Bust That Test”
The demand for Jim’s motivational test taking assembly is so high that schools must call early to reserve a slot near state testing time. In this program, Jim breaks down how test taking can be a “Piece of Cake” and schools have noticed the student’s improvement. Your students will learn test taking strategies, listening skills, and methods to increase focus. Most importantly Jim will motivate your students to give their best effort.
Busting the state test takes a team effort and we need EVERYBODY'S best effort and attitude to reach our potential. Jim's State Testing Assembly is a great kick start for state testing or a perfect opportunity to celebrate your students’ effort on state testing. Remember, “Do Your Best and Bust That Test!!!”
“89% of our 6th graders improved 5 points of more, while 84% of the 7th grade improved 5 points or more. 98% of the 6th grade improved by at least one point, and 100% of the 7th grade improved by at least one point! Thank you for the ‘Piece of Cake idea.”
