Questar Assessment Named Entrepreneurial Education Organization by Education Next

APPLE VALLEY, Minn., June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Questar Assessment, Inc. (www.QuestarAI.com), a leading educational assessment provider for states, school districts, and higher education institutions, was included in a recent list of 49 nationally prominent entrepreneurial education organizations.

Education Next, an independent education reform publication, recently published a study, "Creating a Corps of Change Agents," listing a group of 49 leading entrepreneurial organizations in the education sector. Questar Assessment, Inc. (Questar) was the only custom K–12 assessment organization included on the list. To conduct the study, the authors utilized research methods that have been applied in similar research on "entrepreneurial spawning" in other sectors. The authors identified a group of 49 entrepreneurial organizations within the education sector and then traced the work histories of the founders and the members of the current management team from each organization. A workplace that appears frequently in these histories is termed a "spawner" of entrepreneurial leaders.

"We are honored to have been named as a prominent entrepreneurial educational organization and change agent by Education Next," said Roy Lipner, Questar Assessment's President and Chief Executive Officer. "At Questar Assessment, we define our success by our customers' standards--not our own. We pride ourselves on constantly striving to provide the most innovative, cost-effective, quality solutions to meet the needs of our State Department of Education partners."
