Students master topics built from the Georgia Performance Standards and tested on the CRCT/GHSGT.
Each topic is built from one of the Georgia Performance Standards.
Each topic contains a straightforward lesson and assessment questions with detailed explanations that provide automated instruction.
Students can choose between traditional tests or interactive games as their learning method.
Teachers have access to a private page where they can view detailed real-time progress reports for an individual student as well as their class as a whole, which makes it easy to identify deficiencies. In addition, teachers can compare their students' performance against other students in Georgia (School Site License only).
How it works:
Our Georgia programs are completely web-based. Students simply logon to www.studyisland.com to access the program. The program is organized into topics covering all of the Georgia Performance Standards that are tested on the state-mandated Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) and Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) in grades 6 through 8 and high school.
-
For each subject (math, reading, language arts, science, and social studies), the students must take a pre-test, complete all content groups covering all the Georgia Performance Standards, and pass a post-test in order to complete the program.
-
Teachers have access to a private page where they can view usage statistics and results for each student, a group of students, and the school as a whole. In addition, teachers can compare their students' performance against other students in Georgia.
 Dynamic Content - Not only are there several thousand questions in the Study Island program, but each question is also constantly changing. The answers to the multiple choice questions are continuously changing position, and the numbers in the math questions are randomly chosen. This causes the students to learn the concepts, not just memorize the answers.
Skills-Specific - Study Island's lessons and practice tests are based solely on the Georgia Performance Standards and are specifically designed to prepare students for the CRCT/GHSGT. Study Island covers each and every Standard that will be tested on the CRCT/GHSGT.
Better Than Workbooks - Study Island offers all the benefits of workbook based programs in addition to the tremendous benefits that can only be provided by a Web based program. Unlike workbooks, Study Island enables students to interact with thousands of questions, then automatically and instantly grades and records all student work. In addition, users are able to print custom workbooks.
Question Style Similar to the CRCT/GHSGT - The question style on Study Island is similar to the style on the actual CRCT/GHSGT. This allows students to get comfortable with the testing style; therefore, test-taking mistakes will be reduced and scores will improve.
Self-paced - Every student learns at a different pace. Study Island allows the student to learn at their own pace.
Multiple Study Modes - In addition to allowing students to learn at their own pace, Study Island lets students choose their style of learning. Students can choose between a standard test format and several interactive games for their study sessions.
Real-time Reporting - Study Island records statistics for each user session in a real time report card. Teachers have access to a private page where they can view usage statistics and results for each student and the school as a whole. Real-time reports (including graphs) help teachers measure progress and identify deficiencies as they relate to the specific Standard. Teachers and administrators can use these statistics to see how their students compare to other students in Georgia.
