Right Start
National Evaluation Series™ Right Start Educator Learning Courses
The Right Start Program helps educator candidates develop the capacity to effectively apply what they know and can do in specific educator credentialing areas.
Prospective educators can proactively enhance the likelihood of successfully completing licensure assessments by utilizing Right Start courses prior to operational testing. Moreover, if a candidate does fall short of passing the operational assessment, the Right Start course can be used in concert with the competency-level results provided on our operational score report to develop a customized, specific learning pathway. The competency-level results included in the score report will guide the candidate to specific competency-based modules within the Right Start course that can provide additional instruction in the targeted areas for improvement.
Right Start uses an advanced Learning Management System (LMS) to provide an integrated and comprehensive system of competency-based instruction, assessment, and remediation—supporting candidates throughout the process of preparing for assessment success.
Right Start educator learning courses provide educator candidates with:
- Self-paced learning
- Instructional resources designed by subject-matter experts
- Interactive experiences to build knowledge and skills
- Content built directly to the specifications of required assessments
Each course sequence begins with a Right Start Diagnostic Assessment in Module 1 with representative item types used to assess key objectives within that specific assessment area. After the candidate completes the diagnostic assessment, the responses are scored, and competency-based results are provided immediately.
The candidate then uses their competency-based results to complete an interactive instructional module in each objective area for which they would like to improve their knowledge and skills, enhancing their preparation for the operational assessment.
Using the Right Start courses, candidates can:
- Enhance their knowledge of what to expect on the assessment
- Solidify their understanding of assessment content
- Master key concepts in their assessment area
- Increase their likelihood of success on their required assessments
