Briljent can assist in the selection, configuration, optimization and administrative support for most learning management systems.
The Application
A New Way to Assess College Readiness
Briljent recently worked with College Board, a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. Briljent helped train educational leaders and teachers to deliver an assessment that would be a new state graduation exam for high school students. The exam would also provide more access to higher education opportunities for students.
In prior years two different assessments were administered in the state. One was used to determine high school students’ readiness for college, while a separate test was used for graduation. The state came up with a plan to use one test for both purposes, and worked with the College Board to redesign how test results were analyzed and reported, so that the same test could serve both needs.
Initially there was some concern expressed by schools. The College Board needed to provide the state support to ensure that educators:
- Understood the importance and value of the change.
- Knew how to access and use College Board resources.
- Could administer the tests and analyze the data.
- Briljent’s role was to help teachers, counselors and school administrators make this transition. We were engaged to deliver overview training, regional workshops and webinars to educators across the state.
The presentations started schools thinking about what this new requirement might mean for them and to anticipate how to manage it locally. It also allowed staff time to digest and learn about new resources that would be available to prepare students to successfully complete the graduation exam.
