With this in mind, today on TeachHUB.com, frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, herself a seasoned educator on the East Coast of the United States, takes a look at five ways that teachers can increase the test scores of the kids in their class.
Janelle’s ideas include:

- Assign Homework Every Day
- Increase Parental Involvement
- And More!
In summation, Janelle concludes: “As a teacher, you can only do so much. Your main goal is to see each and every one of your students succeed. Just by reading this article you are doing something. You are taking the time to find ways to get your students to improve. That in itself is enough.”
