 Recent research, in the field of educational psychology, has revealed that many students experience various problems during their primary years in school. Some may suffer from repetitive failures that lead to scholastic delay. While others may exhibit high academic performance which necessitates a different type of intervention. Reasons for this vary from one student to the other. Each has unique and special needs that educators should be equipped with the expertise to deal with them individually and appropriatelly.

Considering the premise that all students need professional help, sometime during their learning journey, they need educators to help them succeed in school, and to develop to the optimal level of their potentialities. The Battery of Developmental Assessment (BDA) is a culture – fair assessment tool that has been constructed for that purpose. More specifically, it provides educators with guidelines and strategies necessary to help their students overcome their various academic and / or behavioral problems.

What if we have enough educators equipped with the right assessment skills working with everyone of our kids, this year?

Would it be positively affecting educational reform?

We think yes, but we have to determine what the right assessment is and the optimal implementation method 

Scalable implementations leverage cloud-based computing and mobility solutions. But what is the right user experience that enhances the child/assessor relationship? And how can we deploy to maximize effect across a society?

Educators, specifically teachers, should be encouraged and empowered to undertake such assessment practices. They are the best to know their students and can recommend appropriate placement. They possess the expertise, knowledge of school practice, and knowledge of the child. For this they are considered the most appropriate to design the best method of support and challenge suited for the student’s profile and needs. This is our proposal of BDA scalable assessment tool for educational reform.
