Synopsis
Higher standards and greater accountability have contributed to an alarming rise in test anxiety in our students. To help them pass mandated assessments, teachers drill on facts and give endless practice tests. But teaching to the test isn't enough. High stakes testing produces high anxiety which, in turn, lowers performance. Teachers, parents, and kids must do more to minimize its negative effects and increase test results. This book offers constructive and powerful strategies that specifically target the physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms of anxiety. This resource serves as a comprehensive and practical guide for test-takers of all ages. It is an essential resource for teachers and parents of students who are faced with the increased testing mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act.

About the Author
Dr. Joseph Casbarro has worked as an educator for thirty years in public schools, including administrative positions as building principal, director of special programs, and assistant superintendent of schools. He received his Ph.D. from Syracuse University in School Psychology and has taught for many years at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Dr. Casbarro's interest in writing on test anxiety was a combination of his training and experiences as a psychologist, his observations of the impact of high stakes testing on schools as an administrator, and the personal experiences of his two school-age children as a parent.
