ISIP: istation's Indicators of Progress

Work More Efficiently and Focus on What Matters!

Make better decisions with adaptive assessments that automatically adjust the difficulty level based on each student’s performance. The time you save on manual assessments, instruction differentiation, and multiple testing will translate into more time for other tasks, giving you greater flexibility.

What is ISIP?

ISIP™, istation’s Indicators of Progress, is an Internet delivered computer adaptive testing (CAT) system that administers student-friendly, short tests through the Internet to determine each student’s overall reading ability and then adapts difficulty of questions based on performance.

ISIP is authored by Patricia Mathes, Ph.D., Joe Torgesen, Ph.D., and Jeannine Herron, Ph.D.
