Navigating the Changing Landscape of Student Assessment
Student assessments are changing at an unprecedented rate. Our longstanding commitment to evidence-centered design of assessments helps us design and deliver assessments that reflect more closely the work that students and teachers create in the classroom. Better assessments mean better information for you to make meaningful decisions in your state, districts and schools.
Collaborative Planning
Knowing what you need to measure is important. How you measure student learning and how you intend to use the results are equally important. At ETS, we want to share new ideas and innovative methods with you before your planning begins. Learn more about our planning capabilities.
Program Management
Program management at ETS means you have a dedicated team trained in project management practices, versed in educational assessment, and in full access of our internal resources and organizational capabilities. Your team serves as your liaison to ETS for the duration of your testing program. Learn more about our program management capabilities.
Assessment Development
Your testing program needs to meet needs and objectives for all stakeholders, from students and teachers to administrators and policymakers. Sound test creation is a key to fostering positive attitudes toward testing. ETS takes a comprehensive approach to test development to ensure what is measured is measured well.
