I-SMART Pilot

What is I-SMART?

Oklahoma is a collaborator in Science Map, Assessment, and Reporting Technologies (I-SMART), a research and development grant funded by USED. I-SMART is housed at the University of Kansas and is a sister project to the DLM alternate assessment. I-SMART will pilot new science testlets from January 22 - March 1, 2019. The pilot is a great opportunity for students to gain exposure to high-quality, formative science assessments and for educators to see how their students are doing.

Interested?

If interested please see the informational flyer as well as a letter that describes the project and its benefits to students below. A user guide describing how to participate, an introductory video, parent notification letter, and other participation materials are available at http://ismart.works/pilot
