Reading for Understanding — Research Collaboration

ETS's research teams are responsible for several aspects of the Reading for Understanding project, including:

• Design, Development and Scientific Oversight
• Psychometrics
• Technology
• Assessment Development
• Assessment Design and Field Work

Meanwhile, our collaborators at other organizations, such as Florida State University, Arizona State University and Northern Illinois University, are focusing on helping develop formative assessments, assessments that measure advanced reading skills, and how reading develops over time.

We are also working with schools and districts to design studies, to pilot the assessments with students and to interpret and present the results in ways that are valuable to educators.
