Illinois Standards Achievement Test

Illinois State Achievement Test (ISAT) measures the extent to which students are meeting the Illinois Learning Standards. A school district is measured in terms of what percentage of their students are meeting and exceeding standards by either making (AYP) Adequate Yearly Progress or not. The percentage of children that need to meet or exceed standards increases each year. The ISAT is not a growth model rather a set benchmark that needs to be attained.

Terra Nova

Terra Nova is a nationally normed standardized test that is used to obtain information about a students’ achievement in various areas of the curriculum. Terra Nova measures important higher-order thinking skills as well as basic and applied skills. These assessments generate norm-referenced achievement scores, criterion-referenced objective mastery scores, and performance-level information. Students from second through seventh grade complete assessments during the Fall in the areas of Language, Mathematics, and Reading. In addition, students complete a cognitive assessment (InView) that provides cognitive and anticipated achievement information.
