ISTEP+ InfoCenterUpdated: Assessment Committee Participant Application WHAT IS ISTEP+?
The Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) measures what students know and are able to do at each grade level. Based on Indiana’s Academic Standards, ISTEP+ provides a learning check-up to make sure students are on track and signal whether they need extra help. [ See Common questions about ISTEP+ ] WHAT’S NEW ABOUT ISTEP+
THIS YEAR? ISTEP+ is changing from the fall to the spring this year. This year only (2008-09), students in grades 3-8 will take ISTEP+ twice as part of the move to spring testing. Beginning in 2009-10, students will only take ISTEP+ in the spring. WHEN IS ISTEP+?
WHAT’S TESTED ON ISTEP+?
WHY IS ISTEP+ CHANGING?
The changes are part of a larger testing plan for Indiana that includes moving ISTEP+ to the spring (grades 3-8), replacing the current GQE with Algebra I and English 10 end-of-course exams and offering new computer-based teaching tools to local schools on a voluntary basis for grades K-8.
