ILEARN Performance Level Descriptors
Policy PLDs
The ILEARN Policy Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) are high-level statements that reflect the varying degrees to which students may demonstrate proficiency on each grade-level ILEARN assessment. A diverse panel of Indiana educators convened to consider many factors (e.g., Indiana’s diverse student populations, the Indiana Academic Standards, and national reference points) as they defined each Policy PLD.
The Policy PLDs were used to develop more specific content area Range PLDs to inform item development, instructional practices and standard setting.
Range PLDs
The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) enlisted Indiana educators to develop Range Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) for the ILEARN assessment. The ILEARN Range PLDs are content-specific statements that reflect the varying degrees to which students may demonstrate proficiency on grade-level standards assessed on the upcoming ILEARN assessment. IDOE will use the ILEARN Range PLDs to inform item development and standard setting, while Indiana educators are welcome to use them to help inform instructional practices.

Interpreting and Using ILEARN Data
Interpreting Summative Reports and Data Webinar Series
The Indiana Department of Education will soon make available the “Interpreting Summative Reports and Data” webinar series. These optional webinars will provide information and guidance for Indiana educators related to the Indiana Learning Evaluation Readiness Network (ILEARN) and Indiana’s Alternate Measure (I AM) assessment reports and data. The webinars will expand educators’ understanding of the purpose and use of summative assessment. Educators will acquire new methods for using assessment results to inform instruction and curriculum to ultimately improve student academic outcomes. Register to attend one or more of these webinars:
