Learner FIRST Center For Assessment & Grading
OUR STORY
Schools across the country have spent significant amounts of time, energy and resources on reviewing standards and trying to figure out what they want kids to learn. And for the most part, they have done a nice job of this. Yet, many schools still struggle to figure out the best ways to assess if kids are actually learning and have kept very traditional and inaccurate ways of communicating student achievement to students and families. The Center for Assessment and Grading was created to help schools through this challenge. Based on a practical and proven process, the Learner FIRST Assessment Center can help schools increase student achievement, reliability in assessment and accuracy in communication.
