Summary:
Since the fall of 2013, Mt. Diablo Unified School District has been piloting an “adaptive diagnostics” application for assessment, benchmark goals, and targeting student progress towards “Common Core” end of year benchmarks. The application is called iReady which is a rigorous and on-grade level instruction and practice program that fully prepares students for College and Career Readiness while providing teachers with the tools needed to seamlessly implement Common Core. i-Ready can predict proficiency on the assessment for students as well as accurately identify individual student needs on the CCSS to drive targeted instruction—both student and teacher-led.
With the successful pilot of the practice test, and the unanimous positive feedback and support of teachers and administrators, we would like to implement additional instructional modules for all K-8 schools that will enhance our tool chest to better prepare our students for College and Career readiness. We recommend the purchase of:
1) iReady Diagnostic K-8.
2) iReady Instructional Modules of ELA/Math for all K-8 schools
 
Funding:
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) targeted funds (000.0930)  
Fiscal Impact:
For school year 2015-2016, the cost will be $624,778.
