i-Ready is a computer adaptive test designed to give teachers real-time
instructional information on students, as well a national comparison.
Teachers use the formative growth and achievement data throughout
the year to develop targeted instructional strategies and to plan school
improvement. i-Ready results are reported immediately after completing
each test and help educators make student focused, data-informed
decisions. These assessments help with progress monitoring of our
district achievement and growth goals. They also predict performance on
CMAS and college-readiness assessments. The iReady reading data is
submitted to fulfill our state reporting requirement for the READ Act.
