Overview
Published: March 2022
i-Ready Personalized Instruction, along with the i-Ready Diagnostic, is designed to supplement classroom instruction and support students in reaching grade-level benchmarks. How do those metrics translate to state testing? This research explores the impact of i-Ready on students in Grade 5 as it relates to the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), Massachusetts' state testing system. Results for both mathematics and English language arts showed that even students who did not use i-Ready Personalized Instruction as recommended scored higher on the MCAS. Explore the nuances of the data and the detailed conclusions of the report.
