Welcome to our website!! |
|
| It was created to answer a need to more easily communicate with professionals (like yourself) who are interested in educational assessment. For more than 25 years, I've been training participants in the administration and interpretation of Richard Woodcock's assessment batteries across Canada and the number of educators interested in these assessment tools has been increasing consistently. | ||
|
This site will offer
up-to-date postings of upcoming workshops and who to contact regarding
space availability and cost. Now with the introduction of the new Woodcock-Johnson
3rd Edition (WJ III®)
with updated 2005 norms,
I am
anticipating further demand for workshops in the coming years.
Like all good websites, this is a work in progress. Enjoy your stay and e-mail us if you have specific questions. (helmsing.consulting@sasktel.net). Please visit the site regularly so you and your colleagues can stay informed about upcoming work-shops. |
