MASTERY

▪ A 90% is required to indicate mastery on the study plan materials.

▪ An 85% is required for mastery of the proctored tier assessments.

▪ Final tier assessments cannot be retaken without required remediation between attempts.

VARIOUS EXIT POINTS Note:MAT-143 and MAT-152

also have a ENG-002 pre-requisite

DISCUSSING EXIT POINTS

Sit down or web conference students individually to discuss exit points.

EDREADY

EdReady does not replace the

instructor.

Instructor can ID and offset students who need help with technology.

Require students to pause and learn when needed.

Keep open communication with students.

Set expectations for tier tests.

Instructors should teach soft skills (even if informally)

Goal: Set students up for success.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Check the arrows at the bottom to

see how many examples are

available. You need to view all

examples to continue.

After second tier test

attempt, students may

receive a

‘congratulations!’

message even if they

did not pass. The

system is just saying

they have completed all

material. Schools can

change the message.

EDREADY WORKFLOW

▪ Access EdReady

▪ Initial Diagnostic Test

▪ Study Path

▪ Review – local requirement

▪ Tier Test ▪ First attempt in EdReady

▪ Second attempt in EdReady

▪ Third attempt on paper

CHECKLIST

▪ For instructor use or student use

▪ Reduces time in classverifying completing inEdReady

▪ Provides a clearexpectation to the

students

INSTRUCTOR USE OF EDREADY

▪ Verify target score

▪ Verify completion of unit tests as review – if school requires

▪ Review tier test questions with students

▪ Add and remove goals (tier test or new tier)

▪ Look at a variety of reports

▪ Instructions for instructors: tinyurl.com/NROC-Training

▪ EdReady Reporting Overview (document)

Red Flags in EdReady

Lots of time in EdReady but no studying

Student taking lots of tests but not studying

To check for ‘test in progress’ for diagnostic and tier tests

Look for ‘ID in Progress’

‘Remove’ goal if they leave and have not completed

‘Add goal when they return to continue proctoring

TIPS IN EDREADY

All tests taken by students can be viewed by the instructor. This is a great way to determine students’ specific areas of weakness.

TIPS IN EDREADY

The Snipping Tool is an excellent resource to “snip” questions from practice to provide additional practice sheets to support to students.

COLLEGE EDREADY ADMINISTRATOR

▪ Create instructor accounts

▪ Create goals and keys

▪ Each goal must have a unique name

▪ Give each instructor access to their goals

▪ Instructions for administrators:tinyurl.com/NROC-Training

THE NEW APPROACH

▪ The original approach (used through Fall 2019) required that sets of 9 goals were created each semester for each course.

▪ The new approach only requires a single goal for each course or instructor. Your EdReady site will

be pre-populated with this single master goal to copy.

THE NEW APPROACH

THE NEW APPROACH

All study paths in a single goal

THE NEW APPROACH

TITLING THE GOALS

▪ Use unique names that will aid in data sorting

▪ Original: NC.TM.MASTER

▪ Sample:19FA 100 101 Miller Sexton 8am MAT-003 (or BSP-4003)

▪ General:(semester) (section) (instructor) (time) MAT-003 (or BSP-4003)

Instructors appreciated

having an identifying

feature of their course,

such as section

number, in goal name.
