The needs of students in each curricular area were assessed by the teachers in the spring and replacement materials for the district adopted texts were ordered.

All materials other than Board adopted are considered supplementary and vary by school.

12.4. Authorization to Purchase iReady Site Licenses

Rationale:

iReady is an adaptive diagnostic assessment and online instruction tool that we used during the 2017-2018 school year to provide ongoing diagnostic information about student achievement in grades 1st – 8th in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.  Students were also able to complete tailored instructional lessons lessons, based on their diagnostic results, which furthered their learning of Common Core standards.   We will continue using the iReady diagnostic assessments for the 2018-2019 school year. iReady exams have also been approved by the State Department of Education for determining the end of the year learning achievement of second grade students.

At least 3 times during the year, students in grades 1st – 8th will be assessed in their proficiency of the Common Core standards: a window for baseline information has been established for administration of the exam within the first two weeks of school.  iReady exams will be given prior to the fall and winter reporting periods, grades 2nd – 8th for both ELA and Math, and in grade 1 for Math.

Since iReady is an adaptive diagnostic it will accurately pinpoint the needs of individual and groups of students. It then provides blended instruction to the student in the form of customized online learning and recommendations for direct teacher instruction.  iReady trainers will meet with our Instructional Leadership Teams to ensure understanding of the tool, the resulting test data, and the alignment of individualized instructional lessons for each child.

 
Actions:
Motion

Authorize the purchase of the iReady site licenses through Curriculum and Associates for the amount of $196,000.00.
