• Ontario. Banque d'instruments de Mesure de l'Ontario Unit

The Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool / Banque d'instruments de mesure de l'Ontario Unit (OAIP/BIMO Unit) was created in 1987, within the Centre for Secondary and Adult Education.

The Unit had two managers, for the English and French-language components of the Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool/Banque d'instruments de mesure de l'Ontario, but was administered as one unit. In 1988, it reported directly to the Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister, Learning Programs Division (of which the Centre for Secondary and Adult Education was part). In 1989, it was transferred to the Centre for Curriculum Resources and Technologies.

In 1990, the Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool/ Banque d'instruments de mesure de l'Ontario Unit was divided into two distinct units, the Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool Unit (OAIP Unit) and the Banque d'instruments de mesure de l'Ontario Unit (BIMO Unit).

In 1992, OAIP Unit became part of the Learning Assessment Branch. The Learning Assessment Branch ceased to exist in 1993, and the OAIP Units became part of the Curriculum and Assessment Team.

In 1995 the Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool Units ceased to exist, when their functions were transferred from the Ministry of Education and Training to its new agency, the Education Quality and Accountability Office.

The Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool Unit was responsible for the planning, development, testing and publication of assessment tools for school programs. It also administered the Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool (OAIP).
