How do we get students logged on?

*Note: Students use the app. Only teachers log in to the website or the app.
Students must log on to the Chromebook with their own Google account or with the generic log in to access the student log in icon.
Generic example:

Reports
Istation reports include, but are not limited to:
- Priority Reports — identify students that demonstrate weaknesses or lack of progress by risk level and skill need
- Summary Reports — graphically show the number of students in each tier and overall scores in each critical subject domain, with the ability to change what is shown on the report by demographics and reporting period
- Skill Growth Reports — show progress made in all skills tested, across all assessment periods, with variable views by student, classroom, tier group, grade level, campus, district, and state
- Tier Movement Reports — show a monthly comparison of the number of students within each tier
Priority Reports will help you with small group instruction
Form your strategy groups based on the data!
Summary Reports & Student Summary Handouts
The ISIP Summary Report shows the number and percentage of students at each instructional tier for the current month.
The Student Summary Handout Report shows how a child is performing in all the different skill areas on Istation’s ISIP assessment. ISIP measures your child’s ability in all critical areas of reading. Ability scores are used to show reading growth throughout the school year.
