What is our Development Process?
Our custom item development process is thorough and client-focused, beginning with an in-depth evaluation of the curriculum specifications to align closely with the client's needs. Depending on the client's preference, we create a detailed blueprint that either maps out each assessment or outlines the items for inclusion in an item bank. A detailed project timeline is then established to ensure timely and organized progress. We engage subject-matter experts within the K12 realm to author and review all newly developed items, ensuring they meet high-quality standards. These items undergo several rounds of rigorous review to guarantee their quality before they are presented to the client. Finally, the client is given the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the items or assessments, allowing for any necessary refinements before the final delivery, ensuring that the end product perfectly meets their requirements.
