COR Advantage Assessment Courses

COR Advantage assessment courses include Getting Started with COR Advantage, Scoring COR Advantage Observations, and the Inter-Rater Reliability tests. You can learn more about these courses below. 

For users that are new to using the Kaymbu software and COR Advantage assessment, we recommend they take Getting Started with COR Advantage followed by Scoring COR Advantage Observations. Once they have completed both of those courses, we would then recommend they take the IRR Infant/Toddler or IRR Preschool test. 

If users are more familiar with the Kaymbu system and just looking to better understand the assessment, we recommend they take Scoring COR Advantage Observations and then complete the IRR tests.

In this course, we cover the structure and content of the COR Advantage assessment, the scoring process, and we provide practice scoring sample anecdotes.
• Inter-Rater Reliability Courses: The Inter-Rater Reliability, or IRR, tests allow users to check their scoring skills to ensure that they are selecting appropriate indicators for the COR Advantage assessment items.
