District reports reading gains on iReady; math proficiency lags and pilot planned
Summary
Staff presented iReady diagnostics showing reading proficiency rose from 27% to 40% this year, with reductions in students two or more grade levels behind; math performance improved for some but remains below expectations and the district plans a pilot of the Envision math curriculum.
District staff presented iReady diagnostic results showing reading proficiency increased from 27% to 40% over the year, a 13 percentage-point gain. The presenter highlighted reductions in the highest-risk cohort (two or more grade levels behind) and said the most substantial progress occurred between winter and spring diagnostics.
On math, the presenter said proficiency remains lower than desired despite some improvement and described a planned pilot of the Envision curriculum, including demos provided to the district and samples for teachers to evaluate before a broader pilot next year. The presenter recommended domain-level instructional focus based on assessment sub-scores to lift students from 'one grade level behind' into proficiency.
