For over 60 years Hewitt Research Foundation has provided personalized evaluation services, PASS Testing (standardized achievement testing) for Grades 3-8, educational programs, and high-quality curriculum. As a non-profit corporation we are dedicated to helping home-schooling families provide their students with the best education they can—in other words we hope to help you do what our slogan says, “develop a mind for a lifetime of use.” In more recent years, our Lightning Literature program (Grades 7-12) and the MC Detective Agency (ages 8+) have become our flagship products. We also run the Independent Innovator Challenge and US National Innovator Challenge, Many companies carry everything including the kitchen sink. At Hewitt, we hand-pick each book, because we think it is the best for that age and subject. Some material is Christian-oriented; others are from secular perspectives. We believe that the best educational experience is a mix of great literature, combined with a good foundation in language and math, and lots of hands-on experience. If you have used something that you think is wonderful and we do not carry it, please recommend it to us. We value your expertise.

Director of Possibilities: Creativity and Education I Co-host of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast
Have you ever wondered if gifted students are being overlooked in our current education system? Do we truly understand the potential of exceptional learners, or are we missing out on diverse talents that can flourish with the right support? In a recent episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Matthew Worwood and I spoke with Kristin Lehman, Director of Educational Services at Hewitt Research Foundation, who delves deep into the concept of twice-exceptional learners and the transformative power of mathematical artistry. She explores the challenges faced by gifted students with learning disabilities and the need for a more holistic approach to education. The episode sheds light on the unspoken struggles of gifted students and provides valuable insights for parents, educators, and anyone passionate about fostering creativity in education. From identifying twice exceptional learners to integrating mathematical artistry into the curriculum, Kristin's expertise offers a fresh perspective on nurturing creative thinking in the classroom.

Our 2024 InventEd Convening is underway in Alexandria, VA — and this evening, we’re kicking things off with a special opening reception at the USPTO! This year’s theme, Turning Passion into Action, brings together hundreds of K-12 educators, nonprofit leaders, researchers, government leaders, funders, and others who are building and supporting the field of Invention Education. Their passion provides the spark that ignites a student's interest in a particular problem or area. We know that when students are genuinely excited about something, they're more likely to think creatively and come up with new ideas and solutions. And invention education emboldens students to become not just consumers of knowledge, but creators and innovators who can make a difference in the world. Special shout-out to all the passionate professionals who are joining us for this year’s convening! This is an opportunity to harness our momentum, share learnings, and transform great insights into actionable steps to ensure that invention education becomes a common learning practice in classrooms all across the country!
