Student Assessment & Feedback


Upon completion of the last worksample on the Highlands Battery, the individual student receives a thirty-page report showing the individual's scores on each of the worksamples. Included in the report is a bar chart distributing these scores over a line-by-line profile.

The bar chart divides the student's abilities into three basic components: Personal Style, Driving Abilities and Specialized Abilities. A copy of the report and bar chart are also transmitted to the Highlands Affiliate who is conducting the student's individual feedback.

The significance of the student's scores, of their relationship to one another, and of the over-all pattern they form, requires interpretation and explanation by an expert trained by the Highlands Company (the Highlands Affiliate).

This is accomplished in a one-on-one conference between the individual and the Highlands Affiliate. The conference, or feedback, lasts two hours and, in the case of a student, is usually conducted face-to-face (telephone conference are utilized when the student cannot meet face-to-face). Before the feedback, the student is required to review his report and to supply the Affiliate with personal data such as birth date, educational history and personal interests

At the beginning of the feedback, the Affiliate explains that the student's abilities are only one part of a larger picture which is composed of several principal parts: innate abilities; developed skills; personal style; personal interests; family history; personal values; and personal goals. The Affiliate then analyzes and discusses each of the individual's scores and of the relationship among the scores. The Affiliate explains that the worksamples are timed and that they measure essentially the speed with which the individual is able to complete them. Thus, the worksample in Idea Productivity measures the number of ideas an individual can generate over a given time, not the quality or value of those ideas. The Affiliate explains that the student's scores are neither "good" nor "bad," but simply one factor to consider among others in defining whether the student will be making the most effective use of his abilities in his studies and his school plans.

The Affiliate focuses on the relationship between a particular ability and the student's plans for the future. The student is helped to find the answers to the following questions:

What study program or curriculum am I best suited for?

How do I take in new information most easily?

How do I solve new problems most effectively?

How do I communicate best with others?
