Asia Society is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Avant Assessment to provide Avant’s STAMP™ Chinese language proficiency assessments (STAndards-based Measurement of Proficiency) and its MORE Learning™ training products for leaders in language education its Center for Global Education Network Schools.

Through this partnership all of the schools in Asia Society’s Chinese Language Partner Network and International Studies Schools Network (ISSN) will be able to access Avant’s tools at special rates. This initiative will also offer students the chance to earn recognition for their language skills by giving them the opportunity to qualify for their State Seals of Biliteracy or the Global Seal of Biliteracy.

Under the agreement Avant is sponsoring a program for its STAMP Chinese assessments (STAndards-based Measurement of Proficiency) and MORE Learning Professional Learning trainings at a special discounted price to all of the Asia Society’s Center for Global Education network schools and International Studies Schools Network schools with a portion of the price going to the Asia Society to support its programs.

Especially now that many schools are closing, we see how difficult it has become for students who depend on school-provided meals, and for parents who cannot afford daycare for their children. We want to provide practical measures to assure that students can continue their language learning journey by being able to take Avant tests to qualify for the Seals of Biliteracy, earn credit by exam, or generate data that contributes to improving programs. Avant is finalizing the development of a special program for our updated online proctoring system that will enable students to test at home during this crisis.
