More ISAT Delays

The media is full of stories concerning additional delays in the delivery of ISAT results from March of 2006 to local school districts. There has been no information shared with districts as to what this latest delay is about. It is terrible that we are a few weeks away from the 2007 administration of the test and do not have completed data and results from the 2006 test available to guide instruction and preparation for the 2007 test. Our district has received general AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) information, individual student results and a data file containing information on our students from last year’s test. We have not been able to examine the performance of our sub-groups since the state has not provided the data. Is the problem with Harcourt, our state test vendor, or with ISBE (Illinois State Board of Education)? I hope the 2007 ISAT test administration and scoring goes smoother than last year!
