At CTD, though we had already begun re-envisioning our assessment services before the pandemic arrived, its near suspension of talent search testing gave us the opportunity to complete our transition.  \nWe are excited to introduce you to CTD Assessment and our expanded repertoire of tests and resources to support the identification and nurturing of talent from early childhood through high school. CTD Assessment is now the official brand for on-grade-level assessment, above-grade-level assessment, and assessment for schools. We have retired the long-standing Northwestern University’s Midwest Talent Search (NUMATS) name, but still provide the valuable research-supported tools and resources our clients have come to rely on and expect.  \nCTD Assessment offers a more diverse suite of offeringsand platforms to meet the learning needs of students. This updated CTD Assessment Guide outlines all tests available, both on-grade-level and above-grade-level, for the 2021-22 assessment year.  \nWe are proud of our 40-year history of providing abovegrade-level assessment and talent development guidance through NUMATS, and we look forward to all the new families and schools we will be able to serve in the years to come.  \nYours in Education,  \nPaula Olszewski-Kubilius, Director Susan Corwith, Associate Director Melissa Hinshaw, Assessment Coordinator  \nCTD Assessment has served over  \n500,000  \nstudents since its inception.  \nA score at the 95th percentile on a grade-level test demontrates success. But what it doesn't tell you is what your child is ready to learn next. CTD provides the information you need to offer appropiate challenges.  \nCTD PARENT  \n’’  \nThe Purpose of CTD Assessment  \nHelping students reach their full potential is an important mission for parents and educators. CTD assessments and resources help ensure families and educators have the tools to fulfill that mission for advanced learners.  \nCTD Assessment provides access to on-grade-level tests for students age 4 through grade 9 who need a measure academic ability and achievement aligned to their age or grade in school. CTD also provides above-grade-level testing for students in grades 2 through 9 to identify advanced abilities in core areas of learning, demonstrate mastery of learning standards, and assess readiness for enrichment or acceleration.  \nThe assessment results and corresponding resources provided by CTD help educators and parents make wellinformed decisions about programs and services and plan long-term for their students’ talent development. Given annually, above-grade-level tests can also be used to monitor academic growth and the impact of programming.  \nAssessment Options Through Center for Talent Development  \nCTD offers both on-grade-level and above-grade-level assessment. On-grade-level assessment is best for young learners and other students new to standardized testing or for students who need to understand their abilities and achievement as compared to age or grade-level peers and on grade-level aligned content. On-grade-level test options include:  \n• Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA-3)  \n• Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)  \n• Cognitive Abilities Test ™ (CogAT®)  \nAbove-grade-level assessment is best for students who are already demonstrating high achievement or advanced abilities and who may need ","cbCaivzQ3s4910pM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivzQ3s4910pM","pdf",4248157,"English","# CTD Assessment Guide for Families and Educators\n## Assessment to Inform Talent Development\n## The Purpose of CTD Assessment\n## Assessment Options Through Center for Talent Development\n## On-Grade-Level Assessment (Age 4-Grade 9)\n## Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)\n## Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT)\n## Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA-3)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of CTD assessments for families and educators?\",\"answer\":\"CTD assessments and resources help families and educators provide tools to support advanced learners’ full potential.
