Impact of Assessments
February 27, 2012
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

"Young children are notoriously bad test takers and we know that from experience. One other thing we know is that once a child has been defined by adults, it tends to bring its behavior into line with that definition.
"There was a very interesting study that showed that first graders who are confident in their ability tend to ask for help when they get stuck.... They get help and their confidence is maintained in a cyclical fashion. Children, who don't have confidence in their ability, don't ask questions. And, because they don't ask for help, they don't get it and, as a result, they continue to lack confidence in their ability — it feeds on itself.
"That's extremely important for adults to recognize — adults can break this cycle, the child cannot."
