UPSDeveloping a Superintendent


Insight provides ongoing predictive data on how your Grade 6 cohort is progressing against parallel EQAO math items.

Because all items are housed in a database, teachers can search for and sort by expectation, and use the student results to shape instruction throughout the year.

And research conducted by Prof Cathy Bruce ensures the difficulty levels reliably parallel those of the actual EQAO items.

Special Considerations around Assessment Products

• What is their unique goal behind the Assessment Initiative?

• What secondary initiatives will shape your response (e.g., Technology; Professional Learning)

• Need to understand in order to differentiate solutions

• Select solution best suited to need

• Frame solution according to customer’s perspective

• Is piloting necessary? If so has the purpose of the pilot been established?

• All digital solutions have implementation challenges, including pilots. Have these been considered?

• Is there sufficient money for training and/or professional learning? Is there an opportunity to sell services?
