In this pilot study, 19 Canadian Aboriginal students in grades 3 or 4 were taken through the Coolabah Dynamic Assessment process, a form of dynamic (test-intervention-retest) assessment. While many of the children made little or no gain from pretest to posttest, several others improved markedly as a result of the intervention. Indeed, some showed substantial growth, reaching levels that placed them in the “invisible underachiever” category. Since both might be considered to be members of a marginalized, “involuntary minority” population, the performance of the Canadian children was also compared with that of an Australian Indigenous group examined in an earlier investigation
