We offer a wide range of services in educational assessment, including workshops, item and task design, rubric development, and item analysis.

At this time most of our work is done for large organizations such as the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Education. However, we may accept bids from clusters of schools or school districts. Let us help you take your educational assessment practice into the 21st century.

We have extensive expertise in item writing and task/rubric development.

Using performance/formative assessment is one of our focal areas and in line with the new primary school curriculum our focus is on conitively challenging integrated assessments. We can work with your cluster of schools to show how to develop integrated assessments, embed 21st century skills and develop appropriate rubrics.

Our formative assessment workshops are very advanaced and now include a consideration of learning progressions and detailed exploration of formative feedback as a tool.

We currently offer diagnostic assessments in reading-particularly the WRMT-III from Pearson. We can also offer other diagnostic assessments depending on our client needs.  Some assessments can be delivered across computers.

We currently conduct the standard setting workshops for the Trinidad and Tobago National Tests at Standards 1 and 3.
