Is this a Test?: Engaging You Students after Standardized Testing

February 27, 2024

Scantrons, number 2 pencils, calculators...it's officially standardized testing season!

You've spent weeks preparing your students for these tests and now, they're ready to show off what they've learned. But what do you do when testing week is over, the nerves have subsided and are now replaced with a desire to engage in activities that go beyond preparing for these exams?

A Respite with Purpose

After the hustle and bustle of CMAS testing, everyone could use a recharge. A great way to re-engage students is through activities that not only foster philanthropy but also instill the values of compassion and empathy. And we have all of that and more available to you for free! 

Our Project Heart philanthropy resources are an excellent way to connect students to learning that goes beyond testing. These hands-on activities encourage students to think holistically about themselves and the world around them. From coloring activities to vocabulary cards, our Project Heart resources give you the tools to spark the conversation of giving with your students in a fun and interactive way.
