About Us!
Our mission
The Assessment and Evaluation Group (AEG) reports to the Advisory Research Council of Queen's University. AEG engages in independent and collaborative research, program reviews and consulting. AEG operates in many educational contexts, with a wide variety of clients, using multiple and mixed methods of inquiry. Our group operates from the premise that high quality measurement, assessment and evaluation is a foundation for meaningful evidence-informed decision-making. AEG works on an internship model of scholarly development. Projects are conducted with the goal of contributing to and disseminating new knowledge while building the practical and research capacities of graduate students. All our inquiry is directed at promoting learning and improving educational programs.What we do
The AEG offers courses at the undergraduate (e.g., Assessment & Evaluation module of PROF 150/155, EDST 408, EDST 409) and graduate levels, including a Ph.D. in Education program with a concentration in Assessment and Evaluation.
We also provide services in the following areas:
- Assessment Practices: build instruments; analyze test data; advise schools and districts on assessment programs;
- Classroom Practices: support collaborative professional learning; integrate assessment into teaching and learning;
- Program Evaluation: program development; program improvement; program review.
Who we are
AEG consists of three faculty members and a handful of graduate students.
