i-Ready Diagnostic begins by giving students an adaptive assessment in reading or math. An adaptive assessment is a test that automatically adjusts the difficulty of the questions according to each student’s performance in
abilities in reading or math.
Each time a student gets an item incorrect, he or she will be presented with a simpler question until the diagnostic finds the grade level at which the student is performing.
The assessment efficiently assesses students across multiple grade levels, allowing for:
causes of students’ struggles
where a student is ready for further challenge.

Grading is on a Point Scale Every assignment is given a point value. Grades are cumulative point values converted to a percent. Final grades are assigned at the end of each quarter.
Grades are used to calculate Grade Point Average. Grades help to gauge understanding and proficiency with new concepts.
Assessment = 70%; Classroom Activities=30% (per SVVSD grading requirements)
Assignments include class work, reading, practice problems, and homework. Teachers use assignments to identify areas which students are struggling with.
Missing assignments or assessments result in a “0” point score. “M” or missing = “0” This greatly impacts the total percentage. Teachers are unable to identify areas students are struggling with.
Missing assessments result in a 0 point score. Assessments are weighted at 70% of the total grade. Missing assessments
