File Attachment:
Summary: Study Island is a formative assessment program that allows students to answer questions to help determine their understanding of the Illinois State Learning Standards. It allows students to access information to prepare them for state testing each school year. Teachers can quickly and easily build their own quizzes/tests and individualized practice/instruction assignments in Study Island. The Study Island program complements the Exact Path Program, which is another online tool that teachers use to support instruction and students’ learning. Teachers assign online lessons, practice, and quizzes/quick checks to their students to determine if their instruction of the Illinois Learning Standards is “sticking” for their students. Study Island and Exact Path work together in that both individualize instruction powered by MAP Growth results, which are available three times a year to aid teachers and administrators in designing instruction for students' optimal learning growth and achievement. As a part of this contract, Edmentum will also provide administrator and teacher training on how to use the online system to support student learning at school and at home (i.e. homework, E-Learning days). Cost: $87,275.93
Funding: ESSER III
