i-Ready (also spelt iReady) is an online educational platform developed by Curriculum Associates. Launched in 2011, it provides tools for diagnostic assessments and personalized instruction in subjects like reading and mathematics.

History

edit

i-Ready was initially made in 2011 by Curriculum Associates with the goal to provide fair and reasonable learning for all students.[1]

Studies

edit

In a study by the John Hopkins University School of Education, students who did the i-Ready personalized lessons had a higher test score on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), scoring an average of 5-8 points higher than students who only did the diagnostic. Additionally, students who completed the usage guidelines for 18 weeks and passed over 70% of lessons had 6-17 point gains compared to other students.[2] In anothr study by Georgia State University's Georgia Policy Lab, during the COVID-19 pandemic, showed that students that used it increased their growth on standardized tests more than those who did not.[3]

i-Ready Diagnostic

The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions based on the responses of students.[4]

Purpose

edit

According to Curriculum Associates, the i-Ready Diagnostic test is designed to help educators by providing meaningful data about the instructional needs of their students and connecting them to i-Ready math and reading instruction that is proven to raise student achievement.[1]
