2001 ISAT
About the ISAT
"The Illinois Standards Achievement Tests (ISAT) measure individual student achievement relative to the Illinois Learning Standards. The results will be used by parents, teachers, and schools as one measure of student learning. The state uses the results to report student achievement to the public.
ISAT was developed by Illinois teachers and district
curriculum and assessment directors in cooperation with
MetriTech, a Champaign-based testing company. ISAT is based
solely on the Illinois Learning Standards adopted in
July 1997. Those Standards were developed by Illinois parents,
teachers, administrators, school board members, employers and
other citizens to set uniform, high expectations for student
learning."
