During these times of uncertainty, Istation is more committed than ever to helping students succeed. As districts continue to postpone classes this spring, schools are relying more on Istation's intervention and instruction for reading, math, and Spanish literacy. Istation allows teachers to continue providing differentiated learning for each student not only in the classroom but also by distance learning. 

In order to answer frequently asked questions from parents and teachers, we have created a Covid-19 school closures page that includes step-by-step instructions on how to get the most out of Istation at home.

Please visit our Empower Educators page for installation instructions and making the most out of Istation at home.

From RTI to MTSS - Building Your Intervention Team

The terms RTI and MTSS are not interchangeable. It is important to understand that RTI fits within the MTSS framework. MTSS is a more extensive system of student intervention that involves not only a heightened community awareness but also a greater focus on prevention for all students, not just those who are struggling.

Formative Assessments - A Way to Mold Instruction

In many arenas, the word assessment has a negative connotation; however, it is not a bad word. Assessment is a systematic process that is used by educators to gather data to evaluate instruction. Educators use the data to measure and document student progress toward a goal or standard, to evaluate the effectiveness of programs, and to determine if instructional goals have been met.

Professional Development - Uplifting Direction, Guidance and Support

Proper, well-organized technology training for instructors unlocks the learning potential in students through the effective use of integrated tools. It is well worth the time and effort to provide a clear understanding of what platforms to use, technical specifications for each tool, and easy-to-follow instructions for setup and implementation. Ultimately, the process will create a well-informed staff who can pass their expertise to their students and creatively extend the features of their Edtech Integration.
