ERB Mission Statement
“Lighting the Pathway to Learning through Quality Assessments
since 1927”
ERB partners with its school members to light the pathway to student learning through high quality assessment tools that improve instruction and program effectiveness. We accomplish our mission through quality testing products, programs, and services to:
- support the work of teachers and schools by providing the means of identifying students’ strengths and weaknesses;
- develop and promote educationally helpful methods of measuring the academic progress of students and the effectiveness of their academic programs;
- provide the means of constructing, administering, and scoring tests;
- assist in the interpretation of the results of such tests to enable schools to improve curriculum, instruction, and learning;
- increase public awareness of the ways in which educational assessment can contribute to students’ growth and the enrichment of learning.
