RAN Scoring Enhancement for Managers

ISIP™ Matemáticas is Back!

Istation invites your campus and/or district to participate in our monthly Spanish math assessment study known as ISIP Matemáticas. This study is open to Spanish-speaking prekindergarten through 5th-grade students and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.  

Visit our sign-up page if you are interested in participating in ISIP Matemáticas. The study begins September 12, 2022. 

ISIP™ Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) Assessment

As students take the ISIP RAN assessment, educators will now have a landing page for viewing subtests that are ready to be scored. Once these subtests have been manually scored, corresponding data will populate in each field. 

Benchmark assessment windows are now in place which means that students will have the ability to assess three times per year.  On-demand options for ISIP RAN are now available. Learn more about RAN reporting.

 

Improved login experience for everyone using new login screens. This includes all educators and students who log in directly to app.istation.com or isip.istation.com. These enhancements allow users to find their domains more quickly and easily.

 

1.  A new vertical scale will span all grades from prekindergarten through 8th grade for ISIP Reading. This will help schools, teachers, and parents track student performance from year to year. Istation will provide a guide between the new scale and the old scale.
2. Updated Lexile® measures will link to the Overall score. Lexiles will be available starting in prekindergarten in order to better assess how pre-readers are progressing in reading using the Lexile scale.
3. Growth norms will take into account what is normal or expected growth by grade.
4. Enhanced dyslexia screening will be provided with ISIP RAN. 
5. Istation in the Browser Gets a New Student Experience
   • Students will see the new and improved login if they are not using SSO.
   • The new grade-banded Home Screen is where students will select their subjects, access assessments, and jump into their learning path.
   • For students in grade 1 and above, the ISIP assessment will be framed by a new experience. Students can see their past scores and current goal before the assessment. At the end of the assessment, they are asked to do some self-reflection. Then they can see their historical data, and future goals, and guidance about what to do to improve next time!

• On June 1st all Chromebook users signing into the student app will be redirected to Istation in the browser (app.istation.com)
• For SSO users, this will be a seamless transition. For non-SSO users who haven’t already made the change, the app will open a new browser window and take students to login at app.istation.com.
• Please make sure to uninstall the Chromebook app as soon as possible, and instead create a bookmark for app.istation.com that students can use instead!

 

The new homepage makes it easier to get the most out of Istation. The platform itself serves as a coach, pushing the most important information right to your fingertips, saving educators time, and helping power up instruction. The user-friendly design funnels key activities from your classroom, school, or district into a centralized feed, where we transform the data using educational best practices into a manageable list of action items.

• Starting in January 2022, all kindergarten students will complete the Phonemic Awareness and Alphabetic Decoding subtests monthly through June. Starting in December 2021, all 1st-grade students will complete the Phonemic Awareness subtest monthly through June. Our standard scoring criteria will remain in place, and these subtests will not count toward the Overall score unless the student’s performance meets the scoring criteria.
• In February, we will conduct a study with MetaMetrics® to update our Lexile measure. Students in prekindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 8th grades will receive an extra subtest at the end of their ISIP Reading assessment. This subtest, designed by MetaMetrics, will be used to recalculate the Lexile scores students receive, based on their overall performance on ISIP. The subtest will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
