Teaching Notes

This page provides comprehensive information and instructions for students taking the i-Ready Diagnostic. It clarifies that the assessment is not a unit exam or a group activity and emphasizes that it is designed to be challenging, requiring students to try their best without rushing. (from image)

Instructions for logging in are provided: 1. Go to Clever, 2. Click i-Ready, 3. Select "Reading", 4. Select "Start Diagnostic". (from image)

If students finish early, they should quietly work on the "Tone & Creative Writing" assignment (due 1/16/26, see the 1/6/26 OneNote page) or check Teams/Synergy for other missing or partially completed Unit 2 work.

Check for Understanding

Teacher Reference Answer: The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive reading assessment designed to individually gauge student knowledge, identify learning needs, and track growth over time. It replaces previous reading assessments like STAR Reading and Lexia. Students should approach it as a challenging but important check-in, not a graded exam, by taking their time, reading carefully, and utilizing available audio support. During the test, students must stay focused within the test window and understand that teacher assistance is limited to procedural questions, not content. The results inform personalized learning paths.

如果学生提前完成，他们应该安静地完成“语气与创意写作”作业（截止日期：2026年1月16日，请参阅2026年1月6日的 OneNote 页面），或者检查 Teams/Synergy 中是否有其他缺失或未完成的第二单元作业。

理解检查

教师参考答案： i-Ready 诊断性评估是一项自适应阅读评估，旨在单独衡量学生的知识水平，识别学习需求，并跟踪其随时间推移的成长。它取代了之前的阅读评估，如 STAR Reading 和 Lexia。学生应将其视为一项具有挑战性但重要的检查，而非计分考试，应花时间仔细阅读，并利用可用的音频支持。测试期间，学生必须保持专注在测试窗口内，并理解教师的帮助仅限于程序性问题，而非内容。结果将为个性化学习路径提供信息。
