Back to the Basics - What is Study Island?


What is Study Island?

Study Island is an exciting, engaging, efficient and effective internet-based teacher-tool that is directly aligned with all the GLCEs that are tested on the MEAP test. The good news is that research documentation consistently shows that the use of Study Island significantly increases test scores.

Would you like to know how well your students would perform on the MEAP before they take the tests?

What if teachers knew exactly which GLCE their students are strong on and which ones need improvement?

Would it be beneficial to be able to document when and how you assessed each GLCE?

How would you like to boost your test scores 10% or more?


Study Island is diagnostic as well as instructional. Without having to develop, produce, grade or record anything, teachers receive reports that show where a student, or an entire class, stands in their proficiency of each GLCE. This knowledge allows for corrective action through individualized instruction, both in the classroom and on Study Island, which can boost any weaknesses.

Over 4.5 million students in 10,000+ schools in 24 states coast-to-coast are currently benefiting from Study Island. And, about every other day another MI school is coming on board.

I hope this is a helpful overview. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to know more on how Study Island can benefit your teachers and students.


Thank you,
