Arlette, a teacher in Connecticut, conducts data chats with her students while the class is using computers for i-Ready Personalized Instruction. Arlette explains, "As a first grade teacher, it is often very difficult to have individual conferences with students. During students' 'i-Ready Time' is a perfect time! Since all students are engaged with i-Ready and working silently on their computers, it is a perfect time to talk with individual students. I use these chats to catch up and review important information such as target skills that students need to practice. I use the i-Ready resources to help me."
