Early Childhood Assessment

Assessment doesn't have to be overwhelming.

​

Introducing the ELS.

​

In this era of standards and accountability, we understand the anxiety educators feel when they hear the word "assessment."  But by focusing on key aspects of learning, assessment can be a practical tool for understanding a child's development and informing instruction.  The ELS (Early Learning Scale) provides teachers & administrators with the tools they need to assess all students--in a concise, manageable manner that uses rich data to improve learning and quality of instruction at the same time.
