ASSESSING AT HOME KITS

i-Ready Assessing at Home Educator Kits.

Assessing at Home Kit for Educators

At-home testing is challenging, regardless of the test or provider. We identified some unanimous trends among the subset of leaders and teachers who were successful in administering the Diagnostic at home this past spring and fall:

Consistency: Clarity and repetition are essential. District leaders must relay a simple set of messages about assessing at home to school leaders, who relay messages to teachers, who relay messages to families and caregivers.
Relationships: Direct teacher-to-family communication is a key driver of quality data. Families need to hear how the Diagnostic impacts their own student’s learning.
Preparedness: Leaders and teachers who think through the operational details of assessing at home ahead of time get better data.

This Assessing at Home Kit provides easy-to-implement tools for district and school leaders, teachers, and families. These tools are not wordy technical documents. They are simple-to-use resources designed to make it easy to act and provide instruction based on what other educators have done well.
