Testing motivation
By teachjam

My favorite was when the teachers did a take on American Idol.
We called it "Brookwood Idol' for our school. We had teacher contestants who did stuff you "shouldn't do on tests" like not come on time, not eat breakfast,
not listen, etc.
Then we had teachers who did it right! The kids went wild. Then daily we had a mult.choice question each class answered and returned to the counselor.

Next fav, was "Mission Impossible" changed to Mission Possible. Teachers and some older students dressed in shades and trenchcoats and challenged the school to answer the mission to answer the questions

daily. It was a blast, complete with mission imp. music.
Daily our TV studio would post a question during this music theme and we would answer the mult. choice MISSION question. It was awesome!
It really got our kids psyched for the tests.
