Trainers, Educators: Assure cognitive learning

Testing and Evaluation is critical in determining if a trainer or teacher has been successful in passing on important and relevant data to the learner. Before sending a newly hired employee off to work a new assignment, you want to be sure they have the knowledge base required to be successful, and not cost your company valuable dollars. That's where training and more importantly, assessment, comes in. In business, you need to determine whether your new-hires are ready for the real world of your business. Making sure your testing and evaluation materials are effectively assessing your employees' understanding of the necessary knowledge base is critical to avoiding costly on-the-job mistakes.

In education, assessment has become critical to a teacher's success. Preparing students for standardized tests means that teachers should be offering effective testing in their standard curriculum. Ineffective testing materials do not offer teachers the understanding of student comprehension necessary to prepare them for standardized test expectations. Without adequately preparing students for standardized tests, teachers can forfeit bonus pay and advancement, and potentially could even face termination and lawsuits.

Whether you are a professional educator or a corporate trainer, your effectiveness in your field is continually being evaluated through testing. You may be doing a great job of teaching and training your students and trainees, but your evaluation materials are not successfully assessing what you have taught. Having your assessments developed, reviewed or edited by an experienced test developer would be an invaluable asset to your success as a trainer or educator.
