International Schools' Assessment
IBO and ISA Schools
The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) and the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) have an informal agreement to communicate about research projects using the International Schools' Assessment (ISA) that are of mutual interest. As part of its standard data gathering the ISA collects information about schools' curriculum profiles and about students' background including their age, sex and mother tongue. The IBO and ACER are mutually interested in investigating what impact, if any, different school programs such as the IBO’s Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) have on students' progress, and what kind of impact MYP and PYP programs have on schools and cohorts of students over time. ACER will anonymise all data that it shares with the IBO to protect individual school and students.
