EVALUATION REPORT
Séverine Immesoete
The Foundation’s equivalency determinations are arrived at using multiple source materials and a well-
developed evaluation methodology supported by thorough comparative education research and industry-
standard training. FIS evaluators are international education professionals with expertise in both foreign
education systems and U.S. higher education. Many FIS evaluators have had prior experience working in
university admission departments, registrar offices and international services units. In addition to having
a reference collection of well over one million foreign credentials, FIS evaluators have exclusive access
to an extensive research library which includes print materials such as reference manuals, books, and
periodicals, as well as electronic materials. The materials used in this particular evaluation include
International Education Series AACRAO Country Guide titled Australia: Education and Training, the
World Education Series AACRAO publication titled Australia as well as information provided by the
University of Southern Queensland and the AACRAO Electronic Database for Global Education
(EDGE).
The Foundation's evaluations serve as suggested guidelines and are advisory in nature. Under no
circumstance does the Foundation desire to encroach on the individual autonomy, residence requirements
or internal policies of educational institutions. The documents were signed by the appropriate officials
and photocopies were submitted to FIS for evaluation. Only the authorities in the profession may
determine whether an individual is qualified to be certified as a teacher in the United States.
In summary, it is the judgment of the Foundation that Lai Fong Iris Woon has the equivalent of three
years of university-level credit in early childhood development and a master's degree in early childhood
education from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States.
