[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During our last conference, our kid's teacher said a few things.

I-ready is DONE. They are not using it anymore. It's over. She doesn't know what will replace it, fwiw.

DRA is DONE. The county pulled DRA resources because it's too expensive but it is really the best (according to this teacher) way for a teacher to assess a kid's reading progress. She doesn't know what will replace it because the new governor/sec. of ed changed the literacy monitoring requirements and standards (?). The county won't buy anything until the state decides later this summer.

So, next year is going to be weird, fwiw. SOLs remain, though.[/quote]

Your teacher was misinformed. DRA is going away, but iReady is not. They are actually investing more money in it and buying more of the modules. iReady is the reading assessment tool replacing the DRA. They are replacing DRA because it is a leveled reader and FCPS is moving more towards the Science of Reading methodology and not Lucy Culkins and Fontas and Pinnell….although money is always a factor for FCPS.[/quote]

DRA is a massive time suck as well. It is given individually to each child and takes a lot of time.

iReady still sucks though. It is given too often and kids don't really care that much about it so they speed through it to get to the games or just be done and do anything else. [/quote]
