Exam Prep Engages Mind and Body in Hun Middle School
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) December 18, 2014 -- In preparation for midterm examinations, students in The Hun Middle School have been preparing both their minds and bodies for testing days. Beyond the teacher-guided review sessions of content and strategies, School counselors and faculty advisors have held Mind-Body sessions to demonstrate how nutrition, sleep, and exercise all contribute to academic success. This year, two days were set aside in the exam schedule to allow for guided student sessions and relaxation activities such as yoga, board games, and basketball.
“Testing is a great way for teachers to assess both skills and understanding, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of sleeplessness or anxiety,” explained Assistant Middle School Head Amy Kolman. “We aligned our examinations to take place before our winter break, and then intentionally built these Advisory Review days into the schedule in order to give our students optimal conditions for performance. This way, we can teach our students how to truly prepare holistically, before enjoying a well earned break with family.”
