Testing for Intelligence

I believe that the whole child should have things provided to them that would help whole child develop appropriately.  If the child is provided proper food this will give them vitamins and iron that his or her body’s need. I agree with Maslow Theory that food, sleep is what the child needs to function, and develop successful in school as well as the world around them.

When a child first enters the school were I currently work the child is assessed to see what the child knows or does not know. Doing the research I discovered that Australian conducted an assessments with children, the assessment consisted of intelligence, and is primarily conducted by non-Aboriginal educational professionals.  The assessments that was conducted by Aboriginal was not always beneficial to the children and sometimes caused harm to the children. There were many issues surrounding Australian that caused others to conducted more research in an attempt to fix the issues. The goal of fixing the issues with assessments was to insure the children were assessed appropriately.

On my job I use the information to gather from the assessments to help the child so that he or she will pass the assessments on his or her level of development. Working with children is not just receiving a pay check but also recognizing the child’s needs and make sure that areas is addressed so that the child can make progress in his or her learning.
