  On the day of visits, please ensure:

  • Building leadership teams confirm that they are expecting i-Ready at the building on their given assigned day
  • Ensure that schedules match the days that you are signed up for
  • Locations for the sessions have access to either a SmartBoard or a projector
  • All participants are expected to arrive on time. The session will last the entire planning period.
  • To make the most of our time, we ask that teachers minimize distractions during planning sessions and come ready to learn. Teachers must come prepared with their laptops fully charged and ready to be used during the session.
  • For at least one session, a member of building leadership must be present. We understand that administrators' time is valuable, and we want to honor that. However, to maximize the impact of our work, we ask that they attend and learn alongside us. We believe that this will give administrators a better understanding of i-Ready and will help them to better support their teachers going forward. We understand that this is an extra commitment, and we greatly appreciate it. We believe that this is an important investment in their school's success.
