- Description
- The Nelson Denny Reading Test (NDRT) assessment satisfies the CAC CG�s intent to develop leader �communication� skills by addressing reading and comprehension skills in the early years of a soldier�s career. The NDRT is focused on assessing a student�s reading and comprehension skills so that improvement can begin early in their career. Student�s take a timed multiple-choice test and receive scores on vocabulary, reading comprehension, and reading rate. This assessment is commonly used as a predictor of academic success (i.e., college entrance) and to diagnose reading problems.� Time to take is approximately 60 minutes.� This assessment will be delivered to approximately 11,000 BOLC students during FY21.� This is a brand name procurement because the NDRT assessment best addresses evaluation of the CG CAC's key leadership skill area of �leader communication"" in support of Project ATHENA. �This assessment also meets the following selection criteria used during vendor research efforts: administered through web-based means, provides immediate feedback to students through the use of reports, is capable of providing electronic data and reports for follow-on analyses and integration into Army databases, and requires a minimal amount of time to administer thereby minimizing the time impacts on students. It provides automated scoring which will significantly reduce administrative and scoring efforts, is highly modifiable and can be tailored to best address the learning needs of students. The NDRT assessment was identified by the CAPL scientific team as the best assessment available to evaluate leader reading and comprehension skills to satisfy the CAC CG�s intent. 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors � Commercial Items Provide a quote valid for at least thirty (30) calendar days.
