The Illinois Professional Development and ICCB present: The Assessment Hub
The purpose of the Illinois Assessment Hub is to support programs with remote test capacity and test scheduling needs of students in order to assist in achieving increased measurable skill gains in the state of Illinois.
Starting late September 2022, ICCB funded programs will be able to request the Illinois Assessment Hub post-test eligible students remotely and at no cost.
Parameters:
- All levels of ABE/ASE students and ESL students NRS level 4 and higher are eligible to be referred to the Assessment Hub.
- The Assessment Hub tests with:
- TABE 11/12 (Reading & Math)
- CASAS GOALS (Reading and Math)
- CASAS Life and Work Reading tests
- Students need to have previously tested with a computer-based test to be eligible for this service.
- The program must verify that the student has an appropriate device and reliable internet service to test remotely. This includes:
- CASAS – computer running Windows 10, Chromebook, or iPad
- TABE – computer or Chromebook running Google Chrome browser
- The program is responsible for informing the student they are being referred to the Assessment Hub to test remotely and should look for communication from The Hub in the form of text and email.
- The program is responsible for tracking attendance hours and only referring students who have the minimum number of attendance hours. The Hub will not be responsible for determining when a student is ready to test.
- The Assessment Hub is a pilot for FY23 and will test as many referred students as possible within its capacity.
