Title C7 - Approval for the Purchase of i-Ready Math and Assessment Reading for the 2021-2022 School Year | ||
Description I-Ready Mathematics is an online program that provides students of all ages with differentiated instruction and supports them on their individual paths to success. Backed by cutting-edge research on best mathematics learning practices, students gain experience through concrete examples and engaging lessons. Its responsive instruction provides consistent insight into student understanding and performance, enabling teachers to monitor their students’ progress and help them prepare for standards-based assessments and beyond. The rich data from the i-Ready Assessment empowers teachers with a deeper knowledge of their students’ needs. Based on industry-leading research into assessment design and backed by extensive validity evidence, sophisticated data is transformed into meaningful, actionable insights that make differentiating instruction a reality for teachers. A suite of intuitive reports provides a common language through which both teachers and administrators can work toward the shared goal of student achievement.

Gap Analysis I-Ready Mathematics offers a diagnostic tool that will place a student at their current level of proficiency. Each student is assigned a prescriptive pathway based on the results of the diagnostic to fill in the skill gaps from previous years in order to move the students towards grade-level proficiency. I-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment designed to provide teachers with actionable insight into student needs. The Diagnostic offers a complete picture of student performance and growth, eliminating the need for multiple, redundant tests. Diagnostic results also ensure teachers provide instruction that matches the unique learning needs of their students in grades K-3. i-Ready Diagnostic for math (K-8) and reading (K-3) provides teachers and administrators with beginning of the year (BOY), mid-year (MY), and end of year (EOY) progress monitoring data required for data decision making. | ||
Previous Outcomes I-Ready Mathematics: Based on the beginning of the year BOY i-Ready Mathematics student performance data compared to EOY student performance data, students working on grade-level increased from 7% to 41%, students working one-grade level below decreased from 69% to 47%, and students working two or more grade levels below decreased from 23% to 12% during the 2020-2021 school year.

Expected Outcomes I-Ready Mathematics: Implementation of i-Ready Mathematics as an intervention in grades K-8 will assist with closing achievement gaps with students identified as having substantial deficiencies in mathematics measured by individual student growth rates on i-Ready Diagnostic for Math.
