Moving from Motion to Action in Middle School: i-Ready Implementation and Support for Middle School Assessment

Join Christopher Hand from Liberty Public Schools and Christopher Gabriel from Fort Osage School District for an exploration of transforming i-Ready from a compliance tool into a catalyst for meaningful student growth in Grades 6–12. This session moves beyond basic implementation to focus on actionable strategies that create lasting impact in secondary education settings. This interactive session will provide participants with a strategic implementation framework that seamlessly integrates i-Ready Diagnostic insights into existing curriculum planning and daily instruction, builds sustainable support systems for teachers, students, and families, and addresses the unique challenges of middle school environments. Participants will leave this session with practical tools and resources, including Grades 6–12 data analysis protocols for interpreting Diagnostic results and translating them into instructional decisions, strategies that build teacher capacity and confidence, and planning tools to ensure continued success and sustainability beyond initial implementation.
