Pearson Assessment Training Institute's mission is to provide teachers and administrators with the professional development they need to develop quality assessments and use the results to promote further student learning. The ATI approach relies on school-based learning teams to help educators engage in job-embedded collaborative learning, with extensive hands-on practice, to develop assessment literacy. Our multi-media professional development programs also help local administrators develop balanced assessment systems to meet the information needs of all assessment users, from the classroom to the board room. In collaborative learning teams, teachers learn to apply principles of assessment for learning-that is, student-involved classroom assessment-to maximize motivation, confidence and achievement.
