Celebrate Student Growth
Kara Akey, an educator in Wisconsin, created many ways to celebrate i-Ready success at her school. She explained, "After our winter Diagnostic, our building looked at data and wanted to acknowledge the efforts of our students demonstrating the most growth between the fall and winter Diagnostics. Students were acknowledged in the schoolwide daily announcements. Parent letters were created and mailed home along with the Parent Reports from i-Ready. Lastly, students were asked to complete a simple survey about why they believed they made so much growth in i-Ready. Their answers were collected and displayed. Hopefully, their answers and significant growth can be an inspiration for the rest of the students!"
