Here’s the Latest on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP)


ISASP Timeline for District Supports and Release of Student Results:
Pearson released the timeline for rolling out ISASP supports and results. This will be listed in the Bulletin Section of the ISASP Portal in the next few days. The Bulletin contains the following information:

  • When performance level descriptors, cut scores and sample reports will be available
  • Guidelines for accessing ISASP data (webinar)
  • Interpretive manual and webinar for educators
  • Interpretive information for families
  • Overview of local support materials
  • When ISASP results will be released to districts
  • When the embargo is lifted and districts can publicly share results
Please note they will do a staggered release of information and tools and once schools get the results there will be an embargo on releasing the results for one week.


ISASP Update at Curriculum Network:
Iowa Testing Programs gave an update on Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) at the Heartland AEA Curriculum Network meeting on Oct. 4. The following information was covered in the presentation:

  • Standard-setting methodology

For reference, this is the video recording of the presentation, Q & A document and ISASP Slides. The presentation is about 60 min. long. Iowa Testing will share a timeline for the release of the results in the next few days.
