A perfectly designed form will marry the objectives with the output to provide you with the data required for a valuable, unbiased, and reliable evaluation.

Item and Test Development
- Quality test items are extremely critical to creating a durable assessment program.
- The criteria we consider when developing quality items are: alignment to the content standards or learning objectives, construct-relevant, and free from bias. Together, these criteria ensure a reliable and fair test for all test takers.
- Our assessment team’s expertise comes from years of experience in developing test items. We can develop test items to suit your specific needs, from standard multiple-choice and open-ended constructed response questions to customized technology-enhanced items or performance-based tasks.
Alignment
- From an educator’s perspective, one of the most critical roles played by assessments is to measure students’ understanding before, during, and after instruction. With this data in hand, educators can drive instruction and inform differentiation.
- Our assessment team not only understands assessment, but also knows how to align an assessment to generate actionable data to drive instruction and differentiation.
- Our quality assessments align to your assessment goals and provide timely and accurate data that can be used to differentiate instruction for all learners.
Data Analytics & Reporting
- The end goal of any assessment program is to produce quality data to help enhance the understanding of learner proficiency and determine the next steps.
- The most critical factor in data analytics and reporting is to provide information in a format that is easy to understand, so that quick and timely action can be taken. To achieve this, our analytics and reporting solutions provide you with assessment data in an easy-to-read format to enable immediate decision-making.
- Our innovative reporting solutions synthesize multiple data-points, with formats that allow for quick analysis and action. We can develop customized reports tailored to your requirements and equip you with all the necessary data analytics tools.
