MEASURING SUCCESS MEASURING SUCCESS School Performance

Assessment is an integral part of a student’s educational experience. It is the process through which we gather, record, and analyze data to improve student learning. ISB utilizes multiple measures to help us monitor student progress and make decisions about the best next steps to ensure that our students are moving forward on their learning journey.

Teachers use formative assessments during the learning to design meaningful learning opportunities. Summative assessments are used at the end of a unit to measure the learning outcomes. Other assessments used by ISB include outside tools such as MAP (Measures of Academic Progress), ISA (International Schools Assessment), IB (International Baccalaureate) & AP (Advanced Placement) exams. These provide comparative information that we can use to evaluate programs and plan for improvements. Assessment is a multi-layered process, but the ultimate purpose of assessment is to improve learning.
