[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You also need to advocate to remove I-Ready scores from teacher’s TAS scores as well. I have to have 80% of my students meet or exceed their stretch goal (go read what I-Ready says about stretch goals). If I have a student well below level or well above level, the content they are being assessed on is essentially I-Ready content. If kids don’t do those lessons, they won’t make the stretch goal. So yes, they will need to do lessons in class. When I didn’t have that goal, we didn’t do lessons, just the diagnostics. [/quote]

I agree using iReady scores for TAS scores is problematic.

However I will say that my kid always meets her stretch goals without doing additional iReady content. I get why teachers think having kids drill the iReady lessons is more likely to result in higher iReady scores, but you definitely can teach kids outside iReady and then see major progress on the diagnostic tests. And this is for a kid who is above grade level. I always hear people saying above grade level kids have to do iReady to hit stretch goals because it's the only way to get them work targeted to their level. It's not true. [/quote]
