Ep. 89: 5 Tips For Teacher, Parents, And Students To Prepare For State Testing

In this episode, I fly solo and without food. Ouch! The reason for that is to focus on what’s coming up in the world of education. State testing. I give 5 tips for teachers, parents, and students in order to prepare for state testing. For some of us, state testing is literally this week. For others, they still have some time to go but either way, we all could use some tips to prepare. So enjoy this episode and make sure you share it with a colleague. Buen provecho!
