Curriculum
Grading & Assesment
Learner-centered assessment and reporting improves student achievement by focusing instruction and aligning curriculum with the essential standards. This will provide better communication to students, parents, teachers, and administrators on what each student knows and is able to do according to the identified standards and separately assess the influence of positive and consistent work habits on student learning.
Learner-centered assessment and reporting measures the mastery of the learning objectives, or how well students understand the material in class. It is based on a specific set of standards that students need to meet for each grade/content level. Marks are not a comparison of one student to another, but rather a way to measure how well students are doing on grade-level and course level standards.
A standards-based approach allows parents and students to understand more clearly what is expected of students and how to help them be successful in their educational program.
i-Ready
i-Ready is an online program for reading and mathematics that will help your student’s teachers determine their needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year. i-Ready allows your teachers to meet your student exactly where they are, and provides data to increase their learning gains. i-Ready consists of two parts: diagnostic and instruction.
The i-Ready diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions.
i-Ready personalized instruction provides students with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs, so your student can learn at a pace that is just right for them. These lessons are fun and interactive to keep your student engaged as they learn.
