It is designed to provide information about student achievement and readiness to move on to the next level of learning.
iReady
The iReady Universal Screener is administered to all students in Kindergarten through eighth grade.
Universal screeners will allow teachers to identify students in need of enrichment/acceleration or who are at risk for poor learning outcomes.
Universal screeners seek to find areas of skills that need to be improved or areas of skills that are strong.
Universal screeners are used to help teachers formulate the next steps needed in instruction.
Student scores on the universal screeners will be used as a first step in identifying students who qualify for additional tests for gifted identification.
