Preparing for the i-ready Diagnostic The following steps should be used to guide preparation for test day(s). Getting Organized Confirm computers are functioning properly by running our free system- check: www.iready.com/support/systemcheck Confirm headphones and audio function properly Schedule computer access time (two 45 min sessions per subject) Confirm accuracy of class roster(s) o Log into i-ready>click Roster tab>click Edit next to the class name Print student log in information for each class o Log into i-ready>click Roster tab>click Edit next to the class name>click Print Password button at the bottom of the window>print. Gather paper and pencils for each student taking the math diagnostic Preparing Your Students Review test procedures with students o Explain how results will be used o Explain that each student s test is unique For example, Everyone s test is unique. If you answer a question correctly, you will get a harder question and if you miss a question, you will receive an easier question. This is how i-ready determines your skill levels. o Encourage students to take each question seriously and to take their time o Remind students that paper and pencils should be used for computation on math diagnostic o Explain that games will appear at different times for each student. Show the beginning screens of the diagnostic and test questions o Explain that they will select a Study Buddy, Theme and Subject o Point out speaker icon o Review how to repeat audio (hold mouse over speaker icon) o Remind the students that the test not timed and that they can start and stop by clicking on the X in the top right corner of each test question. o Point out how an answer is selected and how to change the selection o Stress that answers cannot be changed after students click Done o Tell students to scroll through the reading passages that are longer than one page (use yellow triangles at the bottom of the passages to go forward and backward within the passage). Prepare activities for students who complete the diagnostic. o Inform students of post-diagnostic expectations If you have i-ready Instruction, Enable Instruction (turn it on) in your Assignments tab. You only have to do this once per year when beginning the program. Consider strategies to assist students in kindergarten and Special Education. o Schedule additional staff to assist with login in and monitoring o Conduct a lesson that teaches students how to login.

Using i-ready Data to Differentiate Instruction There are numerous data points generated in the i-ready program which will help you plan and differentiate instruction. Below are several reports and resources to consider in making instructional decisions. DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS Class Profile Report details the average overall class scale scores by domain and how many students are below level, on level, and above level. It also specifies domain-specific instructional levels of the individual students in your class at the bottom of the report. 1. If you have tested more than one time, have you seen the kind of growth you would expect in each domain? 2. How will you address the domains in which student performance is not what you expected? 3. On the bottom part of the report, sort one of the domains by clicking on the arrows at the top of the column. Which students are struggling in this area? 4. What steps will you take to remediate their skills? shows individual student performance levels and scale scores for each domain, explains student strengths and areas of need, and provides customized recommendations and resources to support teacher-led instruction. 5. Select one student. Does this student have a Rush warning icon next to his/her overall results? YES NO If yes, then consider if this student should re-take the diagnostic. 6. Note his/her strengths using the overview. 7. What are the student s areas of need? 8. Looking at the Developmental Analysis at the bottom of the overview, are you able to find ideas on which skills to target for this student? 9. Examine this student s specific needs within a domain (click on the domain tab at the top of the report). Notice what the student can do and write what your next steps for instruction will be. 10. Open one of the Tools for Instruction lessons and think of how you could incorporate this into your instruction for this student. 11. When viewing a student s Reading Profile, click on the Lexile Performance tab. How can you use this information? Instructional Grouping Profile Report groups students by areas of need and provides the teacher with instructional recommendations and resources for each group to facilitate teacher-led small group instruction. 12. Note the grouping of the students in one of your classes. Are there any surprises? If so, click on the student s name to open the Student Profile Report. Are you able to find an explanation for this student s placement in this profile group? 13. Click on the tab for a Profile Group. What will be the first skills you focus on for this group? 14. Look at the Tools for Instruction PDFs. Which lessons will you begin with? Home Tab 15. Look underneath the Most Recent Diagnostic section. Are you able to see whether or not a student has completed the diagnostic? YES NO (ver09.12.13) Need technical support? i-readysupport@cainc.com or 800-225-0248 M-Th 8:30am-7:00pm, Fri 8:30am-5:00pm Eastern
