Our goal is to maximize the benefits of istation to your students, teachers and administrators. We know from years of experience that the best results are achieved with an effective implementation of istation.

Professional Development Refresher Courses

istation professional development is designed to assist districts and schools as they continue to use istation to improve student achievement.

Initial Training sessions are conducted to train teachers new to the district. For returning administrators, teachers and support personnel, professional development sessions focus on using continuous progress monitoring and making data-informed decisions to differentiate instruction.
