As a way of building their confidence, PSSA allows students to showcase their skills through talent shows during which they entertain their peers. These talent shows are motivational and provide a break from the daily class routine.
PSSA advocates for the "Practice Test Reward Assembly" as an incentive to those who exhibit quality test performance. If your school offers rewards for excellent performance in this test, you can hold an assembly in which you publicly announce the rewards to your students. You can hype the incentives and enrich the assembly through activities that motivate students.
As an initiative to motivate students to excel on their exams, schools should tap into their love for music by organizing a PSSA rappers assembly. Invite a rapper to the school for a concert. As students rap along, they will be motivated to succeed.
To help students comprehend the significance of the PSSA, teachers and school administrators are required to gather them in the gymnasium or the school's auditorium and ask them to write down their PSSA goals. They also are asked to describe why PSSA is important to them and to explain how the plan to pass it. Teachers should collect the completed papers and put them on a wall to create an inspirational display.
Create an interactive bulletin board on which the concepts of fractions and number order are attractively displayed to enhance students' mathematical skills. For instance, students are asked to determine by how much a number is increased or decreased. To increase their understanding, students are asked to change the number representation into decimal point or fraction.
