Sharon, some students have a true issue with anxiety. The focus of this topic is to bring more attention to the realities of diversity and how every student is different. Not all students that score poorly on a test can be labeled as if they insufficiently studied or were prepared for the exam. Through discussion and understanding you may find that some of your students know the material very well but do not perform well on certain types of tests. Take some time to speak with your students that did not perform well on tests and make sure their lack of performance is due to lack of knowledge or poor study skills and not something else such as a learning disorder or some form of anxiety.
