The i-Ready team learned that one school had the great idea to create an “assessment pledge” for families. The assessment pledge was intended to help families understand the importance of getting good data on the i-Ready Diagnostic and buy in to the importance of setting their student up for success while assessing at home. After watching the assess at home video, families were asked to sign a assessment pledge agreeing to these three principles: 

“I understand how the i-Ready Diagnostic works.” 

“I will help set my student up for success by creating the best testing experience I can in our home.” 

“I will encourage my student to do their best on the i-Ready Diagnostic assessment so they receive 'just right' lessons and help their teacher receive accurate data. This means they will answer all the questions on their own, read each passage independently (unless it is an accommodation within an IEP or 504), and solve all problems independently.”
