CMGE Provides Consistency Across Your District

Our goal is to support the acquisition of academic and social English from Kindergarten to Grade 12 for students whose First Language is not English.

Challenges

Assessing the needs of such students can have many challenges, the most significant being a lack of consistency in the assessing process; the result being inconsistent instructional support for students that varies from school to school within a school district. Contributing to this inconsistency is a process that is time consuming and often done with paper and pencil, as well as staff that may or may not be experienced in accessing English learners. The assessment process can take many days and much teacher time; valuable time that is better used in providing instructional support. Paperwork may be easily misplaced and becomes an obstacle for administrators in preparation for funding audits.

An ineffective assessment process can be laborious, expensive in teacher time, and overwhelming and stressful for staff and students.

Solution

As partners in student learning, the CMGE K-12 English language assessments provide an easy-to-use but accurate measure to ensure consistency across schools that supports teachers in meeting the needs of your Newcomer, International, and Canadian students.

CMGE assessments reduce teacher stress, save valuable instructional time, and greatly reduce the filing and tracking of paperwork.

Assessment results are instant, always available, and audit ready.

Implementation

Students can take your secure, district-branded, CMGE assessment in a Welcome Centre, in their school, at home, or offshore.

Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary assessments are available at any time from your unique CMGE dashboard. The dashboard is also full of additional, complimentary assessments, teacher resources, and classroom activities.

CMGE provides introductory webinar sessions for teachers and a printable user guide with all the relevant and necessary information to get you started.

We invite you to take the next step towards transforming your district English language assessment process.

CMGE Streamlines Pre-Arrival International Student Programming

CMGE accurately addresses International students’ English needs, providing a more positive experience where students feel better prepared and supported for their upcoming study-abroad experience.

Challenges

The admissions process for international students can be stressful for students and parents and a strain on school staffing.

Students and parents are often disappointed when courses that were suggested as options during the recruiting process may have already been filled by the time students arrive in Canada and take their English assessment. Equally or perhaps more importantly, without an accurate and thorough prior English assessment, students and parents may have unrealistic expectations about their ability to successfully manage and complete their coursework.

Solution

Prior to arrival, CMGE assessments can be completed offshore, with results forwarded to school counsellors  in a timely manner, allowing for timetabling and course selection ahead of student arrival. Depending on numbers of arriving students and their CMGE English support levels, school administrators can pre-plan staffing and adjust blocks of instruction as needed.

Implementation

CMGE provides a secure, district-branded, student login page and secure administrator/teacher login access to the CMGE dashboard which contains assessment login codes and the completed assessment reports.

CMGE provides on request, templates of suggested letters to parents and agencies, introducing the assessment and the process for completing the assessment.

CMGE provides webinar orientation sessions to teachers and a printable user guide with all the relevant and necessary information to get you started.

CMGE Empowers Your Adult / Continuing  Education Program

Our vision is an English language assessment that maximizes a student’s opportunity for success. The CMGE assessment provides valuable information for accurate instructional placement for your adult learners.

Challenges

Adult Education programs can face the significant challenge of rapidly growing numbers of adult learners whose First Language is not English. Without a reliable measure of a student’s English ability, Adult Education departments can find it challenging to place adult learners in courses and programs where they are most likely to succeed. A laborious, inconsistent English language assessment process can hinder student placement and the instructional support needed for the many excellent programs offered by Adult/Continuing Education such as High School completion, Foundations in English programs, specialized certificates, diplomas, and apprenticeship programs.

Solution

CMGE is a comprehensive set of assessments that provides a snapshot of how well an adult student whose First Language is not English will manage in a learning environment where English is the medium of instruction. To be successful in such an environment, the student must be able to both comprehend and express oneself in English.

CMGE serves as a useful tool in student programming by providing an accurate, reliable, easy-to-use English assessment, tailored for an adult population.
