Who Uses Avant STAMPe?

Dual Language Immersion

Measuring student language growth is essential for dual language programs.

This starts as early as kindergarten or first grade. It helps parents, teachers, and school leaders see how well students are improving in their language skills. Proficiency assessments allow learners to see their progress and stay motivated to achieve higher language learning and build early pathways.

Our MORE Effective Dual Language Immersion (MEDLI) team will help you turn that assessment data into those pathways.

Heritage-Based Programs

Heritage language learners should be recognized and celebrated for the language that is a part of their cultural identity. Assessment for heritage learners helps identify the skills needed to improve in their early years, so they are prepared to earn Seals of Biliteracy or potential college credit when they get older.

Homeschool

Learners at home have an opportunity to build upon their skills at their own pace, making language assessment a key ingredient to understanding progress in proficiency. 

For everyone, our easy-to-read visual reports and test taker resources are always available to help prepare students and learn how to “power up” their skills.

Features

Flexible Testing Options

Avant STAMPe skill sections can be taken in any order and one at a time, if needed. If your learners are better served only testing one skill in one session, just log out and log back in during the next test session. 

Since Avant STAMPe is approved for use as early as K-1, any skill combination can be ordered. Listening and Speaking are the most commonly used for the youngest learners.

Reading and Writing can be added as skills develop to monitor progress from the very beginning.

Online, Computer Adaptive Assessment

Adaptive tests eliminate questions that are too easy or too difficult for each test taker allowing them to reach their highest level of proficiency. All Avant assessments are developed by professional target language and assessment experts.

Aligned to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines

Avant’s assessments utilize authentic texts and audio you would encounter in the real world such as signs, animals, and the weather. All of our assessments are developed to align with internationally-recognized proficiency standards.
