How can we change the associations and expectations
that students have concerning assessments ?
Change the experience of assessments:
TOP 4 TIPS:
Make them:
1. More commonplace.
2. Low stakes:
 No grades.
 Students track scores.
 Only progress matters  have they improved on last time?
 Praise effort  not attainment.
3. Prove to students they are making progress:
 Use the same questions over and over.
Reward progress with merits and shouting from the rooftops.
4. Distributed learning  use the same quiz 1 week, 1 month etc later
Upcoming Challenges?Albert and Bernard just become friends
with Cheryl, and they want to know
when her birthday is.
Cheryl gives them a list of possible
dates.
May 15 May 16 May 19
June 17 June 18
July 14 July 16
August 14 August 15 August 17
Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard
separately the month and the day of
her birthday respectively.
Albert: I don't know when Cheryl's
birthday is, but I know that Bernard
does not know too.
Bernard: At first I don't know when
Cheryl's birthday is, but I know now.
Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl's
birthday is.
So when is Cheryl's birthday?

Bernard: At first I don't know when

Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl's
birthday is.
So when is Cheryl's birthday?
Albert: I dont know when Cheryls birthday is, but I know that Bernard doesnt
know too.
All Albert knows is the month, and every month has more than one possible
date, so of course he doesnt know when her birthday is. The first part of the
sentence is redundant.
The only way that Bernard could know the date with a single number,
however, would be if Cheryl had told him 18 or 19, since of the ten date
options only these numbers appear once, as May 19 and June 18.
For Albert to know that Bernard does not know, Albert must therefore have
been told July or August, since this rules out Bernard being told 18 or 19.
Line 2) Bernard: At first I dont know when Cheryls birthday is, but now I know.
Bernard has deduced that Albert has either August or July. If he knows the full
date, he must have been told 15, 16 or 17, since if he had been told 14 he
would be none the wiser about whether the month was August or July. Each of
15, 16 and 17 only refers to one specific month, but 14 could be either month.
Line 3) Albert: Then I also know when Cheryls birthday is.
Albert has therefore deduced that the possible dates are July 16, Aug 15 and
Aug 17. For him to now know, he must have been told July. Since if he had
been told August, he would not know which date for certain is the birthday.
The answer, therefore is July 16.

 Electrical activity in the brain was measured when
students were confronted with a wrong answer.
 Students with a Growth Mindset responded with
much higher levels of engagement and activity
than those with a fixed mindset.

Simple  Change the experience of assessments:
Make them:
 More commonplace.
 Low stakes:
 No grades.
 Students track scores.
 Only progress matters  have they improved on last time?
Praise effort  not attainment.
 Prove to the students they are making progress:
 Use the same questions over and over.
 Start very simple so your group can make progress.
 Reward progress with merits and shouting from the rooftops.
 Overlearn  your (valid) excuse for students getting 10/10 more once!
 Even outside of assessments  give students a chance to show off how much
they have improved  give them the same question.
How can we change the associations and expectations
that students have concerning assessments ?
Simple  Change the experience of assessments:
Lastly  remember to role model what you want to see:
 Tell them they will get better, with practice.
 Tell them it doesnt matter (it doesnt count after all).
 Tell them they get another shot tomorrow.
 Ask yourself if it was worth discussing / feeding back on, is it
worth doing one more time to prove to students they have
improved?

Albert: I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too. Bernard: At first I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know now.

  • 14. Upcoming Challenges?Albert and Bernard just become friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of possible dates. May 15 May 16 May 19 June 17 June 18 July 14 July 16 August 14 August 15 August 17 Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively. Albert: I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too. Bernard: At first I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know now. Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl's birthday is. So when is Cheryl's birthday? Albert: I dont know when Cheryls birthday is, but I know that Bernard doesnt know too. All Albert knows is the month, and every month has more than one possible date, so of course he doesnt know when her birthday is. The first part of the sentence is redundant. The only way that Bernard could know the date with a single number, however, would be if Cheryl had told him 18 or 19, since of the ten date options only these numbers appear once, as May 19 and June 18. For Albert to know that Bernard does not know, Albert must therefore have been told July or August, since this rules out Bernard being told 18 or 19. Line 2) Bernard: At first I dont know when Cheryls birthday is, but now I know. Bernard has deduced that Albert has either August or July. If he knows the full date, he must have been told 15, 16 or 17, since if he had been told 14 he would be none the wiser about whether the month was August or July. Each of 15, 16 and 17 only refers to one specific month, but 14 could be either month. Line 3) Albert: Then I also know when Cheryls birthday is. Albert has therefore deduced that the possible dates are July 16, Aug 15 and Aug 17. For him to now know, he must have been told July. Since if he had been told August, he would not know which date for certain is the birthday. The answer, therefore is July 16.
