2026 HSAP Virtual Assessment Conference
Tuesday September 15, 2026 12:30pm - 1:15pm HST

This session explores practical ways to acknowledge emotions around testing and to embed schoolwide social-emotional learning (SEL) and mindfulness strategies throughout the statewide testing season. The State Assessment Section will highlight key state resources for managing test anxiety before local school leaders showcase the real-world, schoolwide strategies they use to ease student stress, build resilience, and foster a supportive campus climate. An interactive Q&A will follow, offering an opportunity for schools to ask questions and learn more about SEL and testing.
