[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the same test. Lots and lots of kids did worse this time around.  We're a pilot school for the math lessons and they are SO sick of iReady.  It's the same test as fall and it's really long (60-90 mins average) and the kids just blow it off, so it's not an accurate assessment.  Franky it's a HUGE waste of instructional time and[b] if I was a parent I'd be raising hell about how much time is wasted[/b].  [/quote]

Yes to this. Parents, please complain to your region assistant superintendent. Principals and teachers will thank you. And most importantly, your kid will thank you. [/quote]

With i-Ready I have not had to assess all of my students using the DRA. I lose a lot more instructional time giving the DRA compared to i-Ready. It isn’t even close.[/quote]

Yes, but the DRA was not admit mustered to all kids k-6 three times a year.  You're thinking about yourself.  But think about the instructional time lost to every kid K-6 three times a year in two subjects!!!![/quote]

Teaching third or fourth grade I had to give the DRA to most of my students in the fall and all of my students in the spring. That was at minimum two per student, but often three or four for each.  How much instruction was going on while I was sitting with individuals one at a time to administer the DRA? Last year I had thirty students. The DRA filled up a good chunk of the reading block for weeks.[/quote]
