Test-Ready Trailblazers Lesson Plan
Introduce 1st grade special education students to the structure and expectations of upcoming state tests through engaging, confidence-building activities that demystify the process and reduce anxiety.
By familiarizing students with test format and procedures in a supportive setting, we build their confidence, lower stress, and promote a positive test-taking mindset, leading to more accurate demonstration of their knowledge.
