Education Authorities
CEM assessments help Education authorities to track pupil and school performance across the whole authority.
Head Teachers
CEM data allows head teachers to compare cohorts and assist in developing a school curriculum.
Teachers
CEM assessments help teachers by providing trackable details of pupil’s performance and development, an overview of class performance and help identifying struggling pupils and areas to target.
Researchers
Access to CEM’s data can help researchers to obtain independent research supported data on a wide range of subjects and demographics.
Policy Makers
Working with CEM can help policy makers to develop research supported policies and verify existing programs
Interested In:
Entrance Assessment
CEM Entrance Assessments measure verbal, numerical and non-verbal skills and are available as paper and computer-based services to schools, trusts and authorities, for children predominantly aged 10 to 11 years.
Computer Adaptive Assessments
By beginning assessments with reasonably easy questions and then using the child's responses to decide whether to progress to more challenging questions or to back off to easier ones, the assessment automatically tailors to a child's ability.
Evidence-based advice for pedagogy
Recent CEM projects have studied pedagogy methods and have found certain evidence-based strategies in schools to be effective. These strategies are detailed here.
