Parents of 3rd through 8th graders and 10th graders: The Indiana Department of Education has released the testing windows for ISTEP+. The two-part assessment will begin in late February. Part 1 of ISTEP will be done with paper/pencil and Part 2 will be done online.
New this year: In preparation for 2016 ISTEP+, the IDOE has now made ISTEP+ “Experience” available through Pearson, allowing students and parents to experience various technology-enhanced item types that will appear on the ISTEP+ Part 2 assessment as often as they like from home, at school, or on mobile devices. “Experience” is presented via the Pearson online platform (TestNav 8) that will be used for ISTEP+ online testing, as well as IREAD-3 online testing. P-H-M families can access ISTEP+ “Experience” through the P-H-M District website, as well as through the link provided on the RESOURCES menu of every school website.
