Over the last few months, the i-Ready team has had a chance to talk to more than 100 district leaders about the challenges they face as they plan for the 2020–2021 school year. We explored their challenges, their reasons to be hopeful, and the tools they believe will be most important for success in the year ahead. Our whitepaper details what we learned from these conversations and how we arrived at the short list of tools we believe will be most valuable as educators set their students on a path to success this fall. The critical tools we identified are described below.
DOWNLOAD THE FULL REPORTFor a well-rounded understanding of where your students are starting off the year, you need both qualitative and quantitative data. The discourse-based Try–Discuss– Connect instructional routine in Ready Classroom Mathematics gets students talking about math and helps you informally assess student understanding. In-depth reports from the adaptive Diagnostic give you comprehensive insights into student learning and growth across a wide range of K–12 skills.
Make every minute of your instruction count. i-Ready Classroom Mathematics is a coherent math curriculum that makes it easy to adapt lessons to address students’ unfinished learning across mathematics domains. The intuitive reports and resources provide alternate pacing suggestions and targeted, on-the-spot instructional tips to help you integrate prerequisite learning into grade-level instruction.
As teachers return this fall, they’ll face a painful dilemma: Most students are missing critical prerequisite skills, but all students need access to grade-level instruction to be successful in the long run, and yet there simply won’t be enough time to make up for lost learning in the spring and to cover every grade-level skill. That is why i‑Ready is releasing new reporting and resources that empower teachers to provide targeted, on-the-spot instruction that helps students build the most essential skills they need to be prepared for success in grade-level learning.
