Istation’s Indicators of Progress (ISIP) is an online assessment that will help teachers determine your child’s strengths and areas for growth, personalize their learning, and monitor their progress throughout the school year. ISIP allows teachers to meet your child where they are and provides data to inform instruction.

ISIP is a computer-adaptive assessment that adjusts questions based on student responses. The purpose is not to give your child a score or grade but to determine how to best support their learning.

Students have different areas of strengths and opportunities for growth, and it is important to for the teacher to understand how your child performs in specific learning areas, or skills/domains. This helps teachers know which skills to build and where to focus their support.

Students will dive into a highly personalized learning experience with Istation! Designed to give students ownership over their learning, Istation’s student experience provides excitement, engagement, and growth opportunities to all students.

Istation Data

The ISIP assessment will provide results that help the teacher identify your child’s strengths and determine the next steps for instruction. Your child’s teacher will be sharing these results with you throughout the year and providing a learning experience that will engage your child while teaching essential skills and concepts.

The teacher will share a report with you called the Student Summary Handout. The report will summarize your child’s ISIP results and help you monitor their progress throughout the year.

Understanding Istation's Data

Istation reports allow you to watch your child’s progress by summarizing his or her growth throughout the school year.

Ability Index/Score - Ability scores show how your child performed on the ISIP™ assessment. Like measuring a child’s height with a ruler, the ability score measures a student’s growth over time. As your child’s ability improves, the ability score increases in number.

Percentile Rank - identifies the child's results as compared to other students around the nation who took the assessment within the same month.

Levels

Level 1: At or below the 20th percentile rank
Level 2: At or below the 40th percentile rank
Level 3: At or below the 60th percentile rank
Level 4: At or below the 80th percentile rank
Level 5: Above the 80th percentile rank

Understanding the Student Summary Handout

The Student Summary Handout provides student data on the most recent ISIP Assessment as well as growth graphs for each ISIP Subtest.
