Professional Learning

We would like to invite districts that have opted into the Idaho Grades K–6 Supplemental English Learner (EL) program to attend our next round of professional learning (both live and virtually) in winter 2024. These sessions are complimentary to schools and districts and are included in the state contract. We encourage leaders and teachers of ELs to attend these to be able to get the most use out of i-Ready and learn how to specifically use i-Ready to support ELs.

Some of the topics we will cover during the in-person and virtual sessions are:

How to administer the Diagnostic to get the most reliable results
How to access key reports and analyze data to inform instruction after each Diagnostic
How to monitor and manage students’ differentiated online instruction
How to engage ELs with i-Ready
