ISAT Information

*ISAT Information

*What is AYP?

*AYP stands for Adequate Yearly Progress. As a part of the No Child Left Behind Act, schools are held accountable for their students reaching certain minimum standards in several subjects. Each state conducts an annual test to measure school progress. Illinois uses the ISAT (Illinois Standards Achievement Test). The cut-off scores differ by grade and subject, but a certain percentage of every school must meet or exceed expectations to reach AYP. More information can be found on the Illinois State Board of Education website: www.isbe.state.il.us

*Making AYP

* Scores are collected from third, fourth, and fifth grade in reading and math (Fourth grade also takes science)

* Sub groups are created, such as ethnic or low income, if there are at least 45 students in that group

* There are three requirements to make AYP:

* At least 95% of all students must be tested

* 85% or more must meet or exceed

* The school must have a 91% attendance rate

*AYP Terminology

*Fully recognized – School has made AYP and is in full compliance*Academic Early Warning Status - school

did not make AYP for two consecutive years andis eligible for state sanctions*Academic Watch Status - school did not

make AYP for two additional years after beingplaced on AEWS and is eligible for furthersanctions

*MAP testingNWEA

*What is MAP?

*Oak Park, Lincoln, and most of Illinois uses MAP testing (Measures of Academic Progress)*Second through eighth grade are assessed*The test is administered three times a year to

measure math and reading progress*MAP tests are taken online, and the test is

adaptive to the student’s skills*The test is created by Northwest Evaluation

Association (NWEA) www.nwea.org

*Features of MAP Tests

*Challenging, appropriate, and dynamic*Immediate results*Untimed*Accurate data*Measures growth*Frequency of testing*Adaptive assessment

*MAP Data

*Provides information to help inform instructional decisions

*Provides immediate data and dynamic, interactive reports

*Instructional vs. Mastery

The MAP test:* Provides information about the

instructionallevel of the student.* Provides a road map for students

towardachieving mastery. It is not a test for determining mastery of skills

*DesCartes

*DesCartes is a tool that NWEA offers to teachers. It can be used to identify specific needs for a particular student, based on their performance. Teachers can choose the standard and sub-skill, then select the MAP score to receive specific suggestions to most effectively assist the learner.
