Kelly Jobel created a “March Madness”-themed challenge at her school, where the winning classes got to play a basketball game against each other at the end of the year. “Last spring we had a March i-Ready Madness for the kids to earn points and then the winning classes got to play a basketball game against each other. The kids love it and worked very hard on i-Ready to do well on lessons and earn points! Our March i-Ready Madness increased participation on i-Ready throughout our school, and it created motivation for the students as it increased their scores on their daily instruction.”
