The classic Learning test (CLT). We all, in one way or another, have been tested. Tests are designed to help us to know where we are, but they can also act as goal and provide a marker of sorts in our progress toward an education or knowledge about something.
Tests and testing are also an important passage way toward the next level of our education as we learn and grow. We have no doubt heard of the site to S.A.T test that many universities require for admission. Students and parents alike sweat over the scores obtained on these tests.
Why the Classic Learning test?
Well, what if these tests were flawed or even, by design, could lead students away from a specific type of education and in another direction entirely.
A test is something one prepares for and tunes their learning accordingly toward the end goal which is to attain a high score.
Tests move us toward learning required for a successful test result.
To use and athlete analogy, an arm wrestler would prepare differently from the test of facing another arm wrestler, than the way a tennis player or hockey player would prepare for their opponent.
Education is no different, students prepare for the questions they are going to be asked. But what if those questions don’t line up with a classic type of education?
With me today to talk about tests is the inventor of the classic learning test, Jeremy Tate.
