    Initially, both gifted and developmentally delayed individuals should be properly assessed based on either a preliminary checklist or assessment obtained from the professionals such as developmental pediatrician or psychiatrist. Obtaining the assessment would help us discriminate or distinguish individuals that are mild moderate and severe. It also goes the same with gifted children, we need to know which are mildly gifted, moderately and highly gifted in order to be able to address their needs more appropriately. Another psychological truth that we need to learn is that most learning occurs when an optimal match between the learner’s current understanding and the challenge of new learning material has been carefully engineered. Choosing an appropriate program for…

    It is argued that these tests provide an insight as to which students are excelling and which are struggling. Although these sound like reasons to legitimize standardized tests, there are countless reasons as to why they are not. Standardized tests fail to measure qualities such as creativity and leadership skills and encourage students and teachers to cheat the system for their own benefit. They also discriminate against students with special needs and cause unnecessary stress in the school environment. These reasons all contribute to why standardized testing is an unreliable source of measuring student…

In some classes, a majority of classroom instruction is centered around testing. A standardized test score should not hinder a student from furthering their education. Use of standardized testing is not an effective measure of a student’s ability.…
