I am using i-Ready data for my Change Project. We have only taken the BOY assessment, therefore I do not have any data to compare at this time. However, I can attest to the fact that 6/7 of my students whose families did attend the first Power Team parent night in September are progressing at a higher level than those who did not attend. Those students know an average of 30 of the 100 Fry words and the rest of the class knows an average of 13 Fry Words. When I completed the assessments, we had studied 50 words, with the last ten being more difficult.
i-Ready is a formative assessment diagnostic that tracks student growth. It is intended as a progress monitoring assessment for teachers to use in developing instruction
That's great news about the student's sight word recognition. Parent involvement makes such a difference. I know my students who practice them on a daily basis at home have know more than those that never do or have "lost" their booklet.
ReplyDeleteWow, your Power Team conferences have clearly had an effect on the sight word recognition. That would be powerful data to share with those who did not attend! I can't wait to see what your iReady data shows at mid-year.
ReplyDeleteYour data definitely supports increasing student achievement through your parent Power Team conferences. This will also be relevant and compelling data to share with your staff to encourage additional involvement in this parent conferencing model. I love hearing about your project and seeing the impact it is making in teachers, parents, and most importantly student lives. Great job, Tess!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, involved parents usually does aid in student success! Wish more parents realized that.
ReplyDeleteI am hearing that other elementary schools are using this process so I am guessing the news is getting out! Great job Tess.
