The problem with traditional assessment
Traditional assessment practices, particularly in the form of high-stakes testing rampant in schools today, create immense stress and limit the ability of students to revise their mistakes and improve over time.
In a world where a single low test score can jeopardize a student’s dreams, students are stuck in fearful learning. While the threat of these consequences might drive engagement in the short term, it wreaks havoc on students’ mental health and creates a society with a Pavlovian association between learning and fear.

One of our favorite parts of Sora has been the opportunities it has given Owen to have a say in his own learning. The variety of unique expeditions has helped him find interests he didn't know he had.
