According to a report published by the US Department of Education, “students who are placed at risk due to poverty, race, ethnicity, language, or other factors are rarely well served by their schools.” So how do we better serve our students? By shifting the focus from constant remedial instruction and ability grouping to a focus on student assets such as learning preferences, the background knowledge the student brings to the table, his or her cultural upbringing, and the experiences of each child. Discovering those assets, and learning how to utilize them well, begins with an understanding of the child. And a great place to build that understanding is to administer a temperament assessment device to your students.
