ISA - What it provides

The final International Schools’ Assessment (ISA) instruments provided by LIFE can be implemented in German schools to assess the reading, writing and mathematical competencies of students in grades 3, 5, 7 and 9 or 10. The results may be used to track changes over time both at the individual and school level, and to give support in planning school programs and instructional strategies. As the instruments tap higher order skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and communicative competence, they can also be used for broadly conceived selection procedures such as the preselection of trainees.

Some further uses of ISA:

• the individual students’ results can be used to reflect on and to respond to strengths and weaknesses
• the data can be used to compare subgroup performance (e.g. students from different language backgrounds)
• the school’s results can be referred to in order to evaluate general instructional programs
• upon request, the school’s results may be compared with other schools with similar/other profiles
