ISBE's Assessment Inventory Results Tracker is offered as a tool to help school districts meet reporting requirements under Illinois School Code 105 ILCS 5/22-82. In accordance with this statutory requirement, before the 30th day of each school year districts shall report the following for each of its schools:
Every reliable assessment that measures a certain group or subset of students in the same manner with the same potential assessment items; is scored by a non-district entity; is administered either statewide or beyond Illinois, such as assessments available from the Northwest Evaluation Association, Scantron Performance Series assessments, Renaissance Learning's STAR Reading Enterprise assessments, Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate examinations, or ACT's Educational Planning and Assessment System tests; and will be administered by each school that school year.
- The administration window for each of these assessments and the name of the entity that is requiring it (e.g., State, school district, network or principal).
- The grade levels that will take the assessment.
- The subsets of students, such as English Learners and special education students, that will take the assessment.
- An estimate of the average time it will take a student to complete the assessment.
- How assessment results will be used, if they will be used for purposes other than for guiding instruction. For example, they may be used for promotion, course placement, graduation, teacher evaluation, or school performance ratings.
