Fostering resilience to help prepare for tests and exams - OCSB

Fostering resilience to help prepare for tests and exams - OCSB | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
As parents, we want what is best for our children. We want them to be happy and to grow up reaching their full academic and social-emotional potential. It is always difficult as a parent when we see our children experiencing challenges or difficulties that cause them feelings of stress, sadness, or fear. Our natural instinct is to want to rush in and to “save them” from this hardship. However, in reality we can not save our children from all the challenges they will face in life. How can we prepare them for those challenges that are an unavoidable part of life, like not making the sports team they wanted, not doing as well as expected on a test, or the loss of someone dear to them?
This is what resilience is all about — being able to bounce back from the challenges we face and to learn from them. Being resilient can help our children learn coping skills and find solutions to academic and social problems. It is a key factor in positive mental health and overall life success. Our high school students are busy studying for their first semester exams and our Grade 3 and Grade 6 students are preparing for EQAO evaluations. These are opportunities to help them develop healthy coping skills. Keeping an open dialogue with your child will go a long way in helping your child develop resilience. We've assembled some tips to help your child manage realistic pressures.

The death of the exam: Canada is at the leading edge of killing the dreaded annual 'final' for good

The death of the exam: Canada is at the leading edge of killing the dreaded annual 'final' for good | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
Those high-stakes, pencil-chewing, hair-twisting tests are an affront to human nature and dignity, and some educators are pushing to do away with the annual ritual
Aleena Reyes's curator insight, April 8, 2015 8:12 PM

In Canada, officials are trying to get rid of standardized tests and final exams. I loathe standardized tests, so I totally support this movement. They show nothing about a person's intelligence except if they are great at taking tests. I have mixed feelings about final exams though. Personally, I have never really learned anything while studying for a final exam. I only crammed enough to pass the exam and that was it. I have learned more through critical thinking assignments over final exams. However, I do know that finals can be a grade booster to those who need it. The one thing in this article that I was annoyed about was how people feel that taking away this stress inducing test is somehow indicative to the thought that my generation has "too much self esteem"? Or too much entitlement? If anything, I think the fact that we are understanding how too much stress affects the brain negatively should be used to our advantage. We should be able to work at our optimal performance levels and understand our own limits. This does not make us weak, it make us more efficient. We will not work ourselves into the point of self destruction. There is a reason that South Korea and Japan have the highest suicide rates and it is because they are not taught to value de-stressing moments and older generations were never taught that either. So, good job Canada.
