School system to hold virtual meeting on understanding i-Ready reports

Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) is distributing individual reports this week for students who took i-Ready program assessments earlier this fall. Reports will be sent home with students this week. 

Students who took i-Ready assessments include the following.

  • Grades 1-8 participated in both a reading and math assessment.
  • High school students enrolled in Algebra I of Foundations of Algebra this year completed the math assessment.
  • High school students taking English I this year completed the reading assessment.

No other students will receive i-Ready data reports. CCPS implemented i-Ready, a new diagnostic assessment program last school year.

CCPS is hosting a 6 p.m., Oct. 18, virtual meeting through Zoom for parents about i-Ready reports. During the meeting, staff from the CCPS Office of Teaching and Learning will talk with parents about the reports and share information on how to understand and review their child’s data.

Advance registration for the meeting is required and all participants must have an active Zoom account to participate. Click here to register for the meeting. Please register with the email address you will use to log into Zoom for the webinar.  

The program features adaptive assessments that build on student responses to provide teachers with data to best support their students. The initial diagnostics completed by students this fall provide detailed results for each student. Teachers are using the data to identify student strengths and weaknesses, and plan instruction to support growth and target areas of improvement.

The initial assessment is not designed to provide a grade or score for a student. The question structure adjusts to student responses. For example, if a student answers several questions correctly in a row, the program will adjust and provide students with more challenging questions. If a student answers several questions in a row incorrectly, the program will adjust and provide slightly easier questions.

Teachers will continue to use i-Ready to monitor student progress throughout the school year. Students will complete additional diagnostic assessments using i-Ready during a Jan. 3 through Jan. 31 assessment window.  

An additional parent video resource about i-Ready is posted online here.
