What are Assessments?
Assessments collect structured observations about participants using questions such as short answer, long answer, single choice and number answer. The overall score uses observed answers to scorable single-choice questions and their weights. Unobserved answers and other question types do not contribute to that total; written and numeric responses still provide context.
How Do Assessments Work?
Equip's Assessments are designed to evaluate the progress and needs of participants by providing a glimpse into a comprehensive overview of their academic, personal, and social development. These assessments include various tools and metrics that measure skills, goal attainment, and routine adherence. These assessments generate data-driven insights into their strengths and areas requiring further support. This information is can be shared with participants, supporters, and administrators to tailor individualized support plans. The continuous feedback loop created by these assessments ensures that interventions are timely and effective, fostering a supportive and adaptive learning environment.
