ISIP Assessment Suggestions and Recommendations:
- Since this assessment will determine the level of rigor for each of your students, make sure they take it seriously and pace themselves.
- Testing environments should quiet and without distraction; this is to ensure students have the best opportunity to be successful.
- Classroom teachers should be present while students are assessing to ensure fidelity; this will ensure that the assessment reflects the student's true levels and abilities.
- The assessment will take about 30 minutes for your students to complete, so please plan accordingly to allow students ample time to be assessed.
- Allow them to use the pause button to take "brain breaks".
- Have the students bring books, magazines, or print out an activity for them to work on while others are testing.
