How to Use the Interpretive GuideThis guide is intended to help you understand results from the Iowa Statewide Assessment of StudentProgress (ISASP). The published reports available for the ISASP include student and aggregate level dataresults. The Individual Student Report provides data at the student level. The Student Roster Report alsoprovides student level information, but students are grouped by Achievement Level within a testingsession. The Achievement Level Summary Report provides data at the aggregate level, grouped bygrade, school, district and state.The information in this guide will cover: ISASP OverviewInterpreting ISASP ReportsInterpreting Achievement Levels and Performance Level DescriptorsInterpreting Domain ScoresInterpreting State of Iowa PerformanceInterpreting ISASP Score ConsistencyISASP Spring 2019 Interpretive Manual for Educators1

ISASP OverviewThe ISASP are summative assessments developed by Iowa Testing Programs (ITP) at the University ofIowa for the state of Iowa. The assessments are aligned with the Iowa Core Standards and provide aclear and accurate assessment of student learning outcomes in Reading (grades 3 – 11),Language/Writing (grades 3 – 11), Mathematics (grades 3 – 11) and Science (grades 5, 8, and 10). Theassessments are available in online and paper formats. Using a variety of item types (multiple choiceitems, extended response items and technology-enhanced items), the ISASP provides assessmentinformation that is relevant and actionable.The types of published reports on PearsonAccessnext are the Individual Student Report, Student RosterReport and Achievement Level Summary Report (Fig. 1).Figure 1. Published Report TypesFor more information regarding the Iowa Core Standards, please visit the Iowa Department ofEducation’s Iowa Core website at: https://iowacore.gov/ISASP Spring 2019 Interpretive Manual for Educators2

Sample Individual Student Report Page 1 of 2 (Continued)1. Student Information* – The top of the page will include the student’s name, Iowa Student State ID,school name, district name and grade level.2. Performance Meter – The graphic under each subject test heading displays a visualization of thestudent’s Achievement Level for that test. The cut score ranges, unique for each grade level andsubject, are displayed below the graphic.3. Scale Score – The Scale Score is a score converted from the student’s raw score that allows forcomparisons across grades and years. The English Language Arts Scale Score is a total derived fromthe combination of the Reading and Language/Writing Scale Scores.4. Achievement Level – The Achievement Level reports the student’s performance on the test. Thereare three levels: Advanced, Proficient and Not Yet Proficient. It provides a general explanation ofwhat the student knows and is able to do.5. Description of Performance – The description under each subject test heading is an explanation ofthe student’s understanding of the content specific to grade level.*For 2019, the student information in the Individual Student Report will be from last school year (spring2019). This should be taken into consideration as Individual Student Reports are accessed, distributedand reviewed with families.ISASP Spring 2019 Interpretive Manual for Educators4

Interpreting Achievement Levels and Performance Level DescriptorsThe ISASP Achievement Levels and Performance Level Descriptors provide descriptions of what studentsknow and what they are able to do. There are three general Achievement Levels: Advanced, Proficientand Not Yet Proficient (Table 1).Table 1. Achievement Level DescriptorsAchievement LevelsGeneral DescriptorsAdvancedStudents performing at the Advanced level demonstrate thoroughcompetency over the knowledge, skills, and abilities that meet therequirements for their grade level associated with academic readiness forcollege and career in the subject area.ProficientStudents performing at the Proficient level demonstrate adequatecompetency over the knowledge, skills, and abilities that meet therequirements for their grade level associated with academic readiness forcollege and career in the subject area.Not Yet ProficientStudents performing at the Not Yet Proficient level have not yetdemonstrated the knowledge and skills to be classified as Proficient.The student’s Achievement Level is determined by the Scale Score achieved on the subject test, andwhere the score is in the cut score range (Table 2). The score scale of the ISASP is a vertical scale thatspans the full performance continuum on each test from grades 3 – 11. The scale is designed to allow forgrowth to be measured across years. The scale ranges from 345 to 800.Both Achievement Levels and cut score ranges were established in a standard setting committeemeeting in summer 2019. The Achievement Levels and cut score ranges were then approved by theIowa State Board of Education in September 2019.The Achievement Levels, Scale Scores and the grade level and content specific Performance LevelDescriptors should be reviewed together to provide a detailed meaning of a student’s performance. Thegrade level and content specific Performance Level Descriptors are posted on the ISASP portal. Anexample is provided in Figure 2.English Language Arts Performance Level rces/reports/ISASP ELAPLD 101119.pdfMathematics Performance Level rces/reports/ISASP MathPLD 101119.pdfScience Performance Level rces/reports/ISASP Science PLD 101119.pdfNote: The descriptors outline a range of skills a Proficient or Advanced level student could demonstrate. Thedescriptors are representative of Proficient or Advanced skills at a given grade but are not meant as anexhaustive list of all possible content that could be assessed on an ISASP form.ISASP Spring 2019 Interpretive Manual for Educators11

Interpreting Domain ScoresIn addition to the individual Scale Scores in Reading, Language/Writing, Mathematics and Science,percent correct (or percent of total points) scores are reported for the content domains of the IowaCore Standards. For example, in Reading the Individual Student Reports include percent correct scores indomains Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, and Integration of Knowledge and Ideas. Thepurpose of these domain scores is to provide individual students with a more detailed report of thepoints they earned on the assessment.Teachers and school administrators are provided with state level domain scores in the percent correctmetric so that differences between observed domain scores and state averages can be used as an aid tointerpretation. Tables 3 to 11 provide the state level domain scores based on 2019 performance. Inaddition, districts can download the student data files from PearsonAccessnext which provide domainscore data for local means of interpretation.Table 3.

Interpreting State of Iowa PerformanceEducators, parents and students rely on ISASP results to provide important information about students’current achievement and growth in their achievement across years.ISASP has been carefully designed using the Iowa Core Standards, input from Iowa educators andresponses from students in extensive research studies. Iowa Percentile Ranks allow the comparison ofone student’s scores with those obtained by other students in the state. Such comparisons allowteachers and administrators to assess the performance of their students in relation to that of the entirestudent group in Iowa.Iowa Percentile Ranks for all grades and areas tested in the spring of 2019 will be posted on the ISASPportal at: ces/ISASP Spring 2019 Interpretive Manual for Educators23

Interpreting ISASP Score ConsistencyReliability refers to the consistency or precision of test scores and performance level classifications.Reliability addresses the question of how likely a student would be to achieve the same score or beclassified in the same performance level, across multiple administrations of equivalent tests.As part of each ISASP test administration, the reliability of the test scores and achievement levelclassifications are evaluated from a variety of perspectives. Following each administration, indices forreported test scores and decisions regarding achievement level classifications will be provided for eachtest.For the 2019 ISASP administration, two reliability indices are reported in Table 12. The first of theseindices is the reliability coefficient which ranges from 0.00 and 0.99. The second of the statistical indicesused to describe test reliability is the standard error of measurement (SEM). The SEM is an index of thetypical range or variability of the scores observed for students. It tells the degree of precision in placing astudent at a point on the score scale.ISASP Spring 2019 Interpretive Manual for Educators24
