We believe the fact that we are an alliance of independent workers is a huge benefit both to our company and to our clients. We have the ability to respond nimbly to changing circumstances, scaling up or down as needed.

Consultant Experience

The consultants who work with True North are industry veterans. Our senior content area leads boast more than 20 years of experience; every developer has at least five years of experience. Most consultants have been with True North for at least three years.

Because of this depth of experience, our team members are able to ramp up quickly, anticipate challenges, and work independently toward the successful completion of every project.

The high quality and deep experience of our consultants is what sets True North apart from other companies; recognizing this, we have striven to forge relationships that are consistent, ongoing, mutually beneficial, and respectful.

The incredible quality of the True North team challenges me to be a better writer.

Andrea Jachman, president

I founded True North after more than 20 years of work in education assessment. Over those 20 years I had the privilege of working with many of the best in the business, consultants of great ability and integrity. Today, we work together under the umbrella of True North.

We are teachers, parents, former administrators, writers, and community members. We stay current with policy discussions and debates surrounding the appropriate role of assessment in education.

We believe that good assessments yield good and actionable data that can improve outcomes for all students. This is why we are fully invested in the art and science of exceptional content development.
