The International Schools’ Assessment (ISA)

The International Schools’ Assessment (ISA) is an annual assessment program that has been designed and developed by ACER to measure mathematical and reading literacy, as well as writing skills of students from grades 3, 5, 7 and 9 or 10. While the original ISA-booklets are conceived for students whose language of instruction is English, LIFE Research & Consult is adapting the assessment instruments to serve students in Germany whose language of instruction is German. The instruments are based on the internationally endorsed reading and mathematical literacy frameworks of the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), and are relevant for students from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, in schools with a variety of curricula.

The piloting of the ISA instruments with German students is scheduled for the first and second quarter of 2004; first implementation will take place in fall 2004.
