Diagnostic Testing Recommendations
9
• Why the change?– Based on Assessment Team data review– Supports 3 Diagnostic per year, with 12-week instructional
cycles in between– Allows Kindergarten students to develop some basic skills
because the Diagnostic does on “adapt down” to pre-K levels
• Where is this reflected?– Teacher and Leadership Training Guides i-Ready
Implementation Calendar– Leadership courses: Leadership Best Practices I & II– Teacher courses: Getting Started

Diagnostic Testing Recommendations
10
• Key take-aways:
– Nothing we’ve told customers so far is “wrong” No need to go back and “correct” anything said in training or coaching!
– Most important thing for customers: Testing all students within established windows, regardless of when those windows are scheduled
– If customers ask about the change: Explain that CA regularly reviews assessment and instructional data and periodically updates recommendations to help customers maximize i-Ready impact, based on actual results and usage in prior years.

Background Checks
(1) HR Notification – HR (Patty) is emailing everyone to fill out paperwork for their background checks.
(2) Why? • Schools contractually concerned with access to student data• Onsite school visits
(3) Exception• Districts that will still require their own process• Some districts ask for fingerprinting as well
12
What is Strive for 45? 1. Research shows that if our students get 45 minutes each week of online instruction in reading/math their results will improve.
2. Let’s partner with schools!
Behaviors we want to reinforce:1. Plan: Make time in the day (different tactics for leaders v. teachers)
2. Communicate: Emails to communicate; research to reinforce validity of time on Instruction
3. Celebrate: Success for teachers, students, parents

“Because of the amount of new material to learn, I feel that the 5 day frame was appropriate. However, by the end of each
day, mental blocks kicked in due to the massive amount of material to absorb.”
