“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones..”
- THIC NHAT HANH

Unify
The Student Item Analysis in Unify is one of the most powerful reports that can be used to inform both classroom- and student-level instructional decisions.
After a test is administered, most teachers’ first stop will be the Student Item Analysis (SIA), which yields information by SE, by item, item type and other attributes that are marked on the assessment.
Want more information on this valuable report? Read this quarter's Performance Matters Newsletter.
