Audits reveal your assessment strengths (and weaknesses)

You know that testing takes time and money. With an investment this significant, shouldn’t you see a healthy return? Find out if your assessment program is producing the evidence and insight you need to lead your teachers toward improvement.

The Owl Corps will produce a thoughtful and thorough audit of your assessment program so you know where you stand. We’ll score your return on investment for assessments of all types.

Do you audit your finances? Do you audit your curriculum? If you want to be sure your assessments are solid, call the Owl Corps for an assessment audit today.

The benefits of testing should be as valuable to you as navigational tools are to a pilot. An audit will reveal whether you’re setting the right course and realizing opportunities like these:

• Wiser use of instructional time, which results from pretesting at the start of the year
• Fairer and more consistent grades assigned by classroom teachers, based on rubrics that are aligned with standards, and by cross-referencing grades with CST results
• More timely decisions on when to redesignate English learners
• Better matching of teachers with the students they’re most effective with, especially in elementary and middle schools
• Identifying teachers who are most effective with specific subject matter and who can mentor teachers who are lagging
• Discovering the school teams that deserve praise, especially when your benchmark tests and CST provide conflicting evidence

Our review can help your leadership team make key decisions. You can learn whether the evidence you’re seeing is solid, and you’ll get a second opinion—a new perspective on the meaning of that evidence.
