Drive the student achievement you've always wanted to see
You work hard to deliver impactful instruction to your students every day, but how do you know who's getting it and who needs additional support? With Study Island, you don't have to wonder. Our standards-based formative assessment and practice program provides you with the tools and data to ensure standards mastery for success on state assessments and beyond.
Discover when learning breaks down to improve instruction
Does this situtation sound familiar? You deliver a carefully planned, well-executed lesson, and then, you give your students a quiz, and many of them bomb. With Study Island, you can incorporate formative assessment questions throughout your instruction and get a response from each and every student. No more surprise endings!
Prepare all students for the state test
Imagine if you could focus on delivering high-quality instruction without having to worry about teaching to the test. With Study Island, you can! Our items are built from your state standards and aligned to the state assessment, so every time your students work in Study Island, they are gaining experience with the same types of items they will see on their state tests.
Deepen understanding with proven effective practice
For students to develop a deep level of mastery, they must encounter a concept multiple times and in multiple ways. With Study Island, students can practice new concepts and go back to concepts they've learned in the past to build mastery over time and prepare for state assessments. In a recent third-party study, students who worked consistently in Study Island achieved higher NWEA™ MAP® scores than similar students who didn't use the program.
Trusted state standards alignment
We are committed to maintaining tight alignment with your state standards. Our dedicated, in-house curriculum team builds content from the ground up to meet each state's ever-changing needs. View Study Island programs built specifically for your state.
Build Unit and Common Assessments with Ease
Common formative assessments are a great way to identify learning trends across classrooms and grades, to determine which instructional strategies are the most effective, and to ensure that all students are recieving high-quality instruction. With Study Island, teachers or administrators can build and share standards-based common assessments by selecting questions from out item bank and even by adding their own.
