Are American Indian and Alaska Native preschoolers as equally prepared for school as their white peers? It’s the question on everyone’s mind. And now, we have the answer.
Using SayPro’s proprietary psychometric analyses, AI/AN FACES 2015 researchers found that initial child outcomes are similar between American Indian and Alaska Native preschoolers and their white peers. In other words, there is no indication that additional preparation for school is necessary for these kids to be successful. This is an important finding given the current wave of increasing Native enrollment in public schools.
With a growing number of schools being committed to culturally relevant pedagogy, the need to understand the impact of American Indian and Alaska Native preschoolers is increasing every day. Enter SayPro, a psychometric analysis company that specializes in understanding the outcomes of children who hail from these backgrounds.%$$SayPro reached out to AI/AN FACES 2015 for data collection on initial child outcome measures of their preschoolers. They collected four different outcomes – which included, language acquisition skills, socio-emotional development, academic achievement, and adaptive behavior – from parents and teachers. These are important indicators that show how children are performing at school and how they’re learning in their respective environments.
It is a complex world, and it is becoming more so with each passing day. In such a world, it is important to have tools that assist in understanding the people by predicting their behavior and personality traits. The SayPro psychometric analyses of child outcome measures offers such a tool.
SayPro’s AI/AN FACES 2015 study Assistant Professor Kate Mundy led uses psychometric tests to assess preschoolers’ language and cognitive skills. These tests are used to gauge the child’s development in specific domains, which can then be correlated with social outcomes such as employment prospects or educational success. It’s an interesting way of adding value to what may otherwise be an isolated snapshot of a person’s life.
