Tools for Instruction: Teacher-Led Lessons Target Each Skill
Get to Know Tools for Instruction for Grades K–8
The hard work of connecting digital and classroom resources is often left to the teacher. i‑Ready is different because it uses rich assessment data to provide teachers with a complete picture of student performance and ties this data directly to resources that will accelerate growth.
Tools for Instruction are actionable, in-the-moment lesson plans for addressing skills gaps identified by the i‑Ready Diagnostic. These lessons, available at point of use in i‑Ready reports, as well as on the Teacher Toolbox, are perfect for:
- Delivering differentiated small group and one-on-one instruction, informed by data
- Reteaching challenging skills and standards using new strategies and activities
- Flexible usage by a lead teacher, intervention specialist, or classroom aide
Program Features
Tools for Instruction are available at point of use within i‑Ready's easy-to-use instructional reports. This helps educators immediately start to address students' gaps in learning. Tools for Instruction are also available on the Teacher Toolbox, organized by lesson and standard.
The same clear structure is used throughout all lesson plans, allowing them to be implemented again and again with little preparation time. Each step-by-step lesson includes an introduction, an activity, and a Check for Understanding to ensure that students master each concept.
These teacher-led lesson plans help educators deliver targeted, actionable small group and one-on-one instruction. Each lesson concentrates a challenging skill or concept to directly address students’ learning needs.
