iReady Diagnostics
This message was in the Educator Blog. The district expectation is that diagnostic assessments are only given during the 3 designated windows. We may not add diagnostics though out the year. I originally thought there was more wiggle room, but that is not the case.
iReady Diagnostic Window 2 will be from December 6 to January 21. This diagnostic is required for all K-8 students. The diagnostic assessment should not be given outside of the testing windows due to:
- Loss of instructional time
- Testing fatigue
- The iReady and RCSD recommended best practice is for diagnostic windows to be 12-18 weeks apart.
If you have any questions about assessing outside the diagnostic windows, please reach out to your principal.
If you would like data before the second diagnostic, please consider using Standards Mastery Assessments and Growth Monitoring Assessments. The Standards Mastery Assessments will provide data on specific standards, and the Growth Monitoring Assessment will show the likelihood of projected growth for the year. If you have any questions or would like more information on these assessments, please email me at kpaese@rcsdk8.org.
