Streamline Your MTSS Implementation
with ONE Simple Solution
Our Approach
Comprehensiveness ~ Effectiveness ~ User-Friendliness
The STEEP process was founded in 2004 by educational scientists to take scientifically proven education strategies and put them into practical application. More specifically, we pioneered the integration of benchmarking and online progress monitoring into an integrated process to enhance student performance. Our research outcomes earned us early recognition, leading to a citation in the Congressional Record as demonstrating large-scale efficacy for the RTI process. This recognition contributed to federal backing for what has evolved into the MTSS framework. We have since collaborated with various state education departments to implement MTSS on a statewide scale. Our approach focuses on:
- Enhanced Student Performance: iSTEEP aims to boost student achievement, aligning with our core mission - Integrated System to Enhance Educational Performance (ISTEEP).
- Research-Driven: Founded on rigorous research to deliver effective educational strategies to schools.
- Essential School Needs: Our platform is tailored for: Comprehensiveness, Effectiveness, and User-Friendliness.
Comprehensiveness
- Simplicity Meets Comprehensiveness: By combining all necessary tools into a single, cohesive solution, there's no longer a need to juggle separate systems for reading and math screening, diagnostics, interventions, or data management. Enhanced functionality allows for precise support, enabling you to assist a broader range of students effectively.
- One Platform. With iSTEEP, educators have a one-stop platform that simplifies data collection, decision-making, and reporting, without the hassle of using multiple services or managing data transfers between them.

Integrated with the Science of Reading: In a national review of screening assessments from 20 publishers by NCII, iSTEEP was the only publisher with assessments targeting all or the SOR required skills: Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. We feature CBM assessment, the gold standard for SOR.
Effectiveness
At the heart of iSTEEP is effectiveness. Our tools and strategies are grounded in evidence-based research, ensuring that they work in real educational settings.
The iSTEEP Platform WORKS! iSTEEP is unique in that we not only have data on reliability and validity of assessments but we also have the published and award winning peer reviewed data showing the program tools, decision rules and framework produce good outcomes for students.
User-Friendliness
Our system is easy to use because even the most effective strategies are rendered useless if they aren't utilized correctly. Bringing everything together in a single platform requires that you learn, use and support ONE simple solution.
Dyslexia Screening
iSTEEP is approved by multiple states for required Dyslexia Screening. Multiple measures are available to address required skill areas and most are timed for just 1-minute!
