ETS Assessment Training Institute (ATI) helps K-12 educators improve student achievement by integrating student-involved classroom assessment with day-to-day instruction. Twenty years of research prove the
principles of assessment for learning increase student confidence, desire to
learn, and academic performance, especially with under-performing students. Using the
ATI learning team model of professional development, teachers quickly learn
to assess accurately and use the results to promote even further learning.
Rick Stiggins of ETS Assessment Training Institute has written a white paper detailing the need for balanced assessment systems in America’s schools if we are to succeed in our mission to help all students learn.
