Trauma-Informed Practices for Test-Taking Anxiety at the Elementary Grade Level

Abstract

Test -Taking Anxiety (TTA) is a challenging experience for children of all ages. Childhood exposure to trauma and adverse experience has been increasing. Fortunately, trauma-informed practices, such as mindfulness activities have become more widespread in schools throughout the last few years. Existing school counseling literature offers limited perspectives on how school counselors can support elementary students for TTA. This conceptual article explores the effects of trauma-informed practices on elementary-age students\u27 test anxiety and overall academic success in schools and offers implications for practice
