Instructional Usage Reports Now available

These reports help you see if your district, school, grade, class, and individual students are spending enough time in i-Ready instruction to realize the greatest gains. New reports are now available at the school and district levels, and the class report has been enhanced to show instructional usage in the current school week.

Instructional usage reports, such as the sample district-level report pictured above, show teachers and administrators whether students are on track to reach 45 minutes of i-Ready instruction per subject per week. Research shows that students who meet this goal see significant, measurable gains.

Predictive Proficiency on State Summative Assessments Report Available in September 2016This new tool gives administrators an accurate prediction of student proficiency rates on their year-end assessments, enabling educators to take early action and intervene in schools or grade levels that are at risk of falling below expectations. These reports are available as soon as students complete the first i-Ready Diagnostic at the beginning of the school year.

Research Basis for Predictive Proficiency Prediction models are based on results from extensive third-party linking studies demonstrating that i-Ready Diagnostic is both highly correlated with and proven to predict performance on assessments based on the new College and Career Readiness Standards, including SBAC, PARCC, Florida, and New York state assessments.
