[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pls tell us.  How do they even use Iready?  Do they group the kids in different classrooms according to the score?  [/quote]

If the child is above like the 30th or 40th percentile, they completely ignore it.  If the child is below, the child may be flagged for interventions.  It is not used for any advanced placements or advanced groupings, even if the child has an outrageously high score.  [/quote]

We used it for Adv Math placement. It is used predominantly to get an idea of which kids are below grade level. Which is why it is asinine to make kids who are high take a test to just take a test.

The testing this year is out of control already. [/quote]what tests has your school done so far? [/quote]

Testing for the fall in ES this year…

IReady- Reading/Math
VGA-Reading/Math
Developmental Spelling
Lexia- new program for reading that has assessment portion
Some students will be getting additional testing such as Oral Fluency and Core Phonics
Social Emotional Screener

We did IReady last week. [/quote]

We also have to assess each student using the new Reading Fluency Passage (or whatever it is called) by the end of September. We just had a quick 2nd pastry of the training on Thursday. That has to be administered individually and I don’t know when we are going to get all of this done. We just passed out laptops at the end of last week and changed passwords, so we’ll start iReady this coming week.[/quote]

I think that is K-3. 4-6 is only for some students. [/quote]

I teach 4th. At my school, all students are getting the RFP - it’s replacing the DRA. We are starting to administer it this week.[/quote]

I am PP and I teach 6th. We were told that only certain students will get it. Looks like it will vary from school to school. [/quote]
