A Great Opportunity For Your School To Earn Instructional Products And Classroom Resources

It may seem odd to test a test, but that's exactly what CTB/McGraw-Hill does. As part of our quality assurance program, CTB regularly conducts research studies on our assessments. We work collaboratively with educators and student focus groups around the country to pilot our tests and validate how well they will perform. Once the assessments are thoroughly researched and tested, we can then release them to a broader audience.

Benefits for Your School--Schools and students that participate in these studies qualify to earn assessment products and classroom instructional materials from CTB in exchange for their help.

Your school can earn an incentive for each student that completes all required testing for the assigned Research Study. Incentives are issued to participating schools or districts in the form of cash or credit.

	$8.00 credit per student for Grades K-6 and $10.00 credit per student for Grades 7-12 that can be applied toward an exciting array of instructional and assessment products; or,
	$3.00 cash per student for Grades K-6 and $4.00 cash per student for Grades 7-12.

Credit may be used to purchase products from:

	CTB, including many engaging new instructional support products as well as assessment tools to help your school and district meet the requirements of the No Child Left Behind legislation.
	McGraw-Hill's Children's Publishing, a leading provider of educational materials for the classroom, including posters, games, books, manipulatives, and many other exciting instructional resources that will be of great use to classroom teachers and students.

The catalogs for CTB and Children's Publishing are available from CTB's Research Department at 800-313-4282. You can also view the CTB catalog online at: www.ctb.com.

NOTE: Participation in research studies is on a first-come, first-served basis determined by CTB's receipt of the Enrollment Form, and how well an applicant meets the research requirements for the study. Although individual study preference will be taken into account, CTB reserves the right to assign individual schools to any study based on research requirements at the time the enrollment form is received. Individual student names and performance will be kept confidential.
