should ISASP be administered

Should isasp test be issued at schools?

ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) was developed in 1935 and has been given to 3-11 grade students in the category of mathematics, reading, and biology. ISASP was developed to meet the requirements federal every student Success Act (ESSA). Witch is a U.S law passed in December 2015 to hold students accountable for how students learn and achieve.

 

ISASP is a state standardized test that mostly everybody took here recently and most people did not like taking it. I have heard teachers say that they don't like giving the ISASP test. I personally don't like ISASP testing and think that it should not be given at school. Some people might argue this and say isasp is good and that it is a way for teachers to see what you know and what you don't. People might also say that it is good because if people score high the school gets more state funding. I completely agree but I feel that our knowledge can be tested besides something other than a large state standardized test.

 

ISASP is a test that a lot of people get stressed over, including teachers and other school staff. Isasp gets teachers stressed because they have to initiate a full online test and technology doesn't always work the best. Teachers also have to make sure that there are no posters, pictures, or lettering on the walls that could help any student in any way. Isasp also stresses out students because there are 3-5 important tests that are in a week and if they don't score proficient then they lose more privileges when they get further on in high school. Isasp also stresses out other school staff like computer techs because during the testing a lot of things can go wrong with the computer or the app that ISASP is on.

  • I think every student is not a big fan of isasp and neither am I. I believe isasp shouldn't determine open campus. Grades should determine if you have that oppurtunity or not because we all know some people just click through the test.

    • I agree and some of the information people have never seen before so it makes it harder to score proficient.

  • I get why ISASP is a thing but at the same time it mostly just stresses some people out. When you think of a big test you think you are most likely going to fail or not remember everything, but yet the test were usally things we went over. and for the geomatry test there was barly anything in terms of geomatry. ISASP should not entiarly be administered in my opinion, it only tells you if you can do open campus. I feel like a better solution to open campus would be just how they do in classes overall, if they do decently for years then they should get open campus.

    • i agree and feel that open campus should not be based on the score you get on ISASP but on your overall grades.
