At USD 379, i-Ready Math is one of many tools our teachers use to help students grow and succeed. Students spend very little time on a screen each week, so when they do, it needs to be highly instructional.
Teachers use i-Ready insights to identify individual needs, guide small-group instruction, and provide hands-on learning opportunities. In Mrs. McDonald's 4th-grade classroom, students took the initial diagnostic assessment today. Then, the i-Ready program will place them at their level, supporting personalized instruction. #Celebrate379
