Delivering Differentiated Instruction and i-Ready Pro
Wednesday January 29, 2025 8:10am - 9:25am MST
During Delivering Differentiated Instruction, educators analyze their Diagnostic data to create small groups based on instructional priorities. Using corresponding i-Ready resources, they create actionable small group instructional plans to support students with grade-level instruction. As time permits, educators plan for additional teacher-led instruction to support students in Personalized Instruction and/or how to engage students through data chats.

Leveraging the Power of Algebra Tiles
Wednesday January 29, 2025 8:10am - 9:25am MST
Have you ever had a student ask how 2x is different from x^2? Algebra tiles are an invaluable tool for creating connections between abstract ideas and tangible understanding. They help learners make sense of pivotal concepts such as the distributive property, simplifying expressions, and solving equations. Algebra tiles also offer a visual way to explain why the inequality sign seems to 'flip' when dealing with negative coefficients. Join this session to discover how algebra tiles can powerfully deepen your students' conceptual understanding of key algebraic principles.

Growth Model Orientation and Understanding and Responding to Growth Data
Wednesday January 29, 2025 9:35am - 10:50am MST
Educators learn about i-Ready’s approach to measuring student growth, including how the differentiated Typical Growth and Stretch Growth measures support each student’s growth and proficiency goals. Educators use a protocol to analyze student growth data after the second Diagnostic and create an action plan for supporting students that could benefit from additional support to promote growth.

Increasing the Odds for Struggling Writers on High Stakes Assessments
Wednesday January 29, 2025 9:35am - 10:50am MST
In Grades 3-8, writing scores can mean the difference between a student being MP in ELA or being PP and above. In high school, writing scores can affect the number of college choices students have. This session is intended to give strategies for increasing the odds for struggling writers  - those that have been in school for four to thirteen years - and are still unable to write a basic essay. (This is a similar session as the one offered by this presenter in January 2024 PLD, but is solely focused on writing.)

Intervening During Personalized Instruction, Math Learning Games and Using i-Ready to Support Enrichment and Extension
Wednesday January 29, 2025 9:35am - 10:50am MST
Educators review Personalized Instruction data and identify students who need additional support. They create an action plan and identify resources for intervening with teacher-led instruction for students who need additional support with i-Ready lessons.

Educators are introduced to Learning Games and the basic principles of their design. They also experience the Learning Games as students and discuss collaboratively with colleagues how they will use Learning Games with their students. Finally, they learn the recommendations for student usage and view reports that show how much time students are spending on gameplay and how they are doing.

Educators explore i-Ready data and resources to enrich and extend student learning, including i-Ready Personalized Instruction, Tools for Instruction, Tools for Scaffolding Comprehension, Learning Games.

Using Pattern Blocks to Help Learners Explore Linear Slope and Graphs
Wednesday January 29, 2025 9:35am - 10:50am MST
Many students struggle to transition from procedural algebra to structural algebra and find it challenging to produce the “nth” term in a linear change pattern. Pattern blocks plant the seeds of growth patterns that encourage students to make conjectures about rates of change and y-intercepts in linear functions. By the end of this session, participants will be able to how to use pattern blocks to help students understand the relationships between concrete, visual, verbal, symbolic, and contextual representations of y=mx+b.

Using Projected Proficiency Data at MOY, Data Tracking, and Setting Goals with Student Data Chats
Wednesday January 29, 2025 9:35am - 10:50am MST
Educators learn how to use projected proficiency data at midyear to inform their planning that uses Diagnostic reports to plan instruction to accelerate growth.

Educators review resources and discuss strategies for increasing student engagement and promoting student ownership over their own learning through student data tracking. They reflect on the benefits of integrating data tracking with data chats and create an action plan for having students track their own data.

Educators reflect on the benefits of engaging students in discussions about their data. They explore resources to use for student data chats at different times in the school year and plan for a data chat using the Student Data Chats Pack.

Using the Standards Performance Report to Support Instruction and Integrating Differentiated Instruction
Wednesday January 29, 2025 9:35am - 10:50am MST
Educators access and analyze their Standards Performance report alongside the Diagnostic Results report to plan for whole class and small group instruction using iReady instructional resources. They review their Standards Performance Report using questioning strategies to conduct proactive instructional planning and use i-Ready data to create a plan for grade-level, whole class and small group instruction, considering scaffolds needed to help students access grade-level content, and whether some students would benefit from small group instruction focused on prerequisite skills, additional scaffolded support or practice of grade-level content, or areas for enrichment.
