Dear K-8 Teachers of Math:
When a student logs in, the first interaction they have is with i-Ready Connect is to take the Diagnostic Assessment. If you would like to administer the Diagnostic, speak with your building administrator first and obtain approval (re: concerns on too much testing, state testing, and making sure there is parent communication etc.). If students take the Diagnostic first, they will be placed on a Personalized Lesson Pathway.
However, there is also a "hide assessment" option. The administrator or teacher can select this option. If the teacher was to “hide the diagnostic assessment” then prior to completing a Diagnostic the student will have access to be assigned by the teacher to the following (but not be placed on an automatic Personalized Lesson Plan).:
- Learning Games
- Comprehension Checks (teacher assigned)
- Interactive Practice (teacher assigned)
- Teacher Assigned Lessons (teacher assigned)
- Bookshelf
- Digital Tools
To find more information on how to "hide the assessment", 1) Go to https://i-readycentral.com/faq/, 2) Then click on “+Diagnostic and Diagnostic Reports”, and 3) “+How do I manage the Assessment Access setting?”
Starting with September, 2021, administering the Diagnostic will not be optional in Chariho.
