Whether measuring teacher classroom practices or student retention of content, assessments play a critical role in improving student outcomes and driving positive change in education.

Johns Hopkins School of Education research faculty have collaborated with state education department experts to design and implement inclusive and widely adopted instruments for assessment of early learning and kindergarten readiness.

They have advised on numerous assessment tools used in districts across the country and appropriate assessment instruments for entirely new school models.

They also have long experience collaborating with partners, observing state and district standards, complying with regulations — and most importantly, respecting those whose aptitudes and skills are being assessed.
