1-million dollars will go towards a partnership with the Learning Bar to implement the Early Years Evaluation assessment tool for interested school divisions, beginning this upcoming school year.
The remaining 600-thousand dollars will be part of a partnership with Pearson Clinical Assessment’s Digital Library, to help school divisions support the early identification of student learning needs.
