The IPT Team
Hand-selected for their specific expertise and extensive backgrounds in language assessment, the IPT team is dedicated to developing a testing solution that addresses all NCLB assessment requirements for LEPs. In addition, Ballard & Tighe has recruited a group of leading national and international language testing experts to help inform decisions as the company pursues the development of the new IPT testing system. The IPT Advisory Board meets quarterly to discuss topics such as research and test design approaches, item development, and scoring and reporting specifications. Their combined efforts ensure that the IPT will offer the most comprehensive solution to NCLB requirements.
