3 Benefits of Utilizing a Flexible Assessment Configuration Tool

Continuously monitoring student progress with reliable formative assessments is important for many reasons.

• Administrators get a high-level view of district or campus data
• Teachers get a detailed report of how their class is performing. 
• Families get specific results showing what their children know.

Istation recommends utilizing the ISIP monthly, automated assessments whenever possible to help identify students’ strengths and needs throughout the year. However, there are benefits to turning off these automatic assessments.

1. Determine when subsequent assessments should occur following the initial placement test. Many schools start the year at the end of August and do not want students to assess at the end of the month, so they would rather wait until the beginning of September. In this case, administrators can turn off the assessment until the first week of September. This helps prepare students for the regular cadence of assessments.
2. Determine the most suitable frequency for receiving formative data on each student. Schools might prefer to receive formative assessment data on their students every month, every other month, or three times a year. Having the ability to turn automatic assessments on and off can fit with any of these preferences, making data collection readily available for determining instructional next steps.
3. Determine how to best suit the needs of on-campus and virtual learners. Whether students are attending school in person or virtually, assessments play a huge role in gathering information on their strengths and weaknesses. With flexible assessment configuration, educators can set parameters around where their students access assessments. If they choose, administrators can prevent students from assessing in a home environment or on a public computer.
