A
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
to
the
amanda.
So
before
we
get
started,
I
just
sort
of
wanted
to
I
like
to
get
a
little
feel
for
for
who
our
guests
are
so
amanda.
Could
you
tell
me
something
about
you?
Maybe
how
long
you've
been
with
aacps
or
how
you
got
into
the
math
game?
Whatever
you
want.
B
Absolutely
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
today.
Shelley
again,
I
am
amanda
salvaron
and
I've
actually
been
with
aacps
for
over
20
years
now,
from
being
a
teacher
into
a
math
resource
teacher
and
working
with
title
one,
and
then
I
moved
into
administration
and
realized
that
I
really
wanted
to
support
the
math
business
across
the
district.
B
So
I
joined
central
office
about
three
years
ago
as
the
coordinator
of
mathematics
and
have
really
enjoyed
some
of
these
extra
little
jobs
that
I
get
along
the
way,
such
as
learning
about
and
helping
with
the
rollout
of
I-ready
across
the
district.
A
Wow
well
from
my
experience,
we're
very
lucky
to
have
you
and
yeah
it's
good
stuff,
so
so
you're
here
today
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
iready
and
I
actually
have
to
admit
I
before
we
started
talking
about
it
knew
nothing
about
it.
I
don't.
I
don't
have
elementary
or
secondary
kids.
So
for
those
who
don't
know
anything
about
it,
what
is
iready
and-
and
why
did
we
start
having
using
that
for
acps.
B
All
righty,
so
ireti
is
an
online
program.
An
online
component
created
by
a
vendor
called
curriculum,
associates
that
actually
aligns
to
resources
that
we
currently
and
have
used
in
elementary
pre-mathematics
for
about
the
last
seven
to
ten
years.
Specifically,
I
ready
this
new
online
portion
of
the
program
is
for
reading
and
mathematics,
and
it
helps
your
students.
Teachers
really
determine
student
needs,
personalize
their
learning.
In
a
way
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
before
and
monitor
our
students
progress
throughout
the
year.
B
B
B
It
does
include
two
parts,
a
diagnostic
and
personalized
instruction,
and
that
was
chosen
to
help
identify
a
student's
starting
points,
as
well
as
some
learning
gaps
with
the
loss
of
our
face-to-face
instruction
in
spring
2020..
A
Okay,
so
so
what
you're
saying
is:
was
this
something
that
that
the
system
got
because
of
the
because
of
the
cove?
A
B
Msde
did
charge
all
of
the
districts
in
our
state
to
provide
them
with
a
data
point
in
the
fall
that
would
allow
them
to
identify
current
student
learning.
Try
to
determine
you
know
some
trends,
maybe
across
the
state
of
the
possible
effects
from
the
loss
of
that
face-to-face
in-school
instruction
last
spring.
So
msde
was
asking
us
for
that
and
as
a
acps,
we
chose
after
looking
at
a
variety
of
programs
to
go
with
ireti
awesome.
A
Okay,
okay,
so
then-
and
I
didn't
mean
to
interrupt
you-
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understood
it
properly.
So
there's
two
parts
to
it
and
can
you
go
over
what
the
exactly
what
those
two
parts
are
and
and
and
what
does
that
look
like.
B
Absolutely
so
two
parts,
one
is
a
diagnostic
and
the
other
part
we're
utilizing
is
personalized
instruction.
They
are
both
online
components,
so
students
are
participating
in
this
100
online.
So
of
course
we're
in
full
virtual
learning
now,
and
it
is
an
online
program
if
we
go
back
to
hybrid
or
when
we
go
back
fully
face
to
face.
This
will
continue
to
be
an
online
supplement
to
our
instruction.
B
B
Yep,
so
this
was
built
that
way
and
has
actually
been
around
for
quite
a
few
years.
So
we
are,
though,
we
are
new
to
the
use
of
irati
in
aacps.
B
There
are
a
few
districts
in
the
state
of
maryland,
who
have
participated
and
utilized.
I
ready
successfully
in
the
past
different
counties
who
have
done
that,
so
we
did
some
learning
from
them
also
and
in
our
digging
again
it
was
important
for
us
to
learn
more
about
both
of
these
parts,
so
the
diagnostic
is
actually
an
adaptive
assessment
that
adjusts
the
questions
based
on
student
needs.
B
So
when
a
student
sits
down
to
take
this
diagnostic,
each
student
will
actually
see
an
individualized
diagnostic
assessment
based
on
the
answers
that
they're
giving
so,
for
example,
a
series
of
correct
answers
will
result
will
result
in
some
slightly
more
difficult
questions
with
a
series
of
incorrect
answers
yielding
some
slightly
easier
questions:
okay,
okay,
it's
not
noticeable
to
students,
but
that's
the
purpose
of
the
program
to
really
adapt.
B
This
actually
aligns
to
our
new
mcapp
assessment,
our
state
assessment
that
we'll
be
starting
and
was
supposed
to
launch
in
spring
of
2020.
That
is
also
going
to
be
an
adaptive
assessment
that
adapts
to
each
individual
child
as
they
get
questions
right
or
they
get
questions
wrong.
The
computer
actually
adapts
to
the
individualized
student.
A
A
B
We'll
probably
talk
a
little
bit
later
about
the
my
path
and
that
personalized
instruction
provides
students
with
lessons
that
are
right.
There,
they're
just
right
for
individual
skill
levels
and
needs
so
that
individuals
can
learn
at
a
pace.
That's
just
right
for
them.
I
like
to
say
just
in
time
and
just
write
instruction.
B
These
lessons
truly
meet
students
where
they
are
they're
fun,
they're
interactive.
They
keep
students
engaged
while
pushing
them
along
to
have
them
make
progress.
A
year's
worth
of
progress
is
what
we
expect
for
all
of
our
students,
but
it
individualizes
that
your
personalized
path
would
be
different
from
mine,
which
would
be
different
from
every
other
student
who
took
that
diagnostic.
A
Awesome,
so
it's
just
just
for
them.
It's
sort
of
that
goldilocks
kind
of
thing.
It's
the
right
fit.
It
is
love
it
so
the
personal
eyes
they
can
use
anytime,
but
the
diagnostic
part
is
there
a
particular
time,
because
I'm
thinking
kids
aren't
just
going
to
jump
right
into
that
for
any
good.
You
know
to
personalize,
it's
probably
the
fun
for
them.
So
so
what.
A
Is
that
going
to
be
at
a
certain
time?
Have
they
done
this
already.
B
B
We
started
school
on
september,
8th
so
maybe
about
two
weeks
after
that,
and
then
kindergarten
followed
up
in
early
october
tentatively
right
now,
we're
looking
at
diagnostic
number,
two
taking
place
about
early
february
of
2021
and
then
we'll
look
at
administration
three
closer
towards
the
end
of
the
year.
Around
june
of
2021.
A
Okay,
so
sort
of
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
mid-year
and
then
end
of
the
year
and
then
what,
as
far
as
parents
are
concerned,
is
there
something
they
should
be
doing
to
prep
their
kid
for
this
big
diagnostic
or
so
like?
What
is
that,
if,
if
they're
home
and
what
is
that
going
to
look
like
from
from
home,
is
there
anything
they
should
do
to
prepare
the
house
and
the
kid.
B
So,
first
and
foremost,
we
want
both
students
and
parents
to
understand
that
the
purpose
of
this
is
to
help
personalize
online
learning
paths
for
your
students.
It's
very
important
that
we
ensure
that
our
parents
and
our
students
know
that
they're
going
to
see
questions
maybe
up
to
about
half
of
the
questions
that
they
may
not
go.
They
may
not
know
the
answer
to
and
that's
okay,
because
that's
one
of
the
things
that
makes
this
different.
B
B
In
normal
circumstances,
the
I-ready
assessment
would
be
given
at
school.
So
clearly
in
fall,
2020
everyone
across
the
nation.
You
know
many
people
across
the
nation
took
the
I-ready
assessment
at
home.
B
They
might
have.
Parents
may
need
to
just
help,
provide
that
supportive
environment
make
sure
that
they
know
that
this
is
their
student's
assessment
to
take
that
it's
not
for
our
parents
to
take.
We
really
want
our
parents
to
play
hands
off.
We
always
want
our
parents
to
help
prepare
their
students
by
just
encouraging
them
to
get
a
good
night's
sleep
eating
a
good
breakfast,
encouraging
them
to
always
do
their
best
and
don't
rush
through
it.
B
But,
most
importantly
again,
parents
need
to
know
this
isn't
their
assessment
to
take.
It
really
is
for
the
students
to
show
us
what
you
know.
Okay,
letting
them
know,
there's
going
to
be
questions
that
you
don't
know
and
that's
okay.
They
can
certainly
use
paper
and
pencil.
They
can
take
notes
and
then
just
be
mindful
of
the
directions
that
the
teachers
give
because
we're
breaking
it
up
into
smaller
chunks,
understanding
the
developmental
needs
and
how
they're
different
from
kindergarteners
through
eighth
graders.
A
B
B
This
was
something
that
again
we
wanted
to
structure
it
so
that
students
and
parents
felt
supported
during
this
time,
and
the
teachers
were
there
to
help
students
if
they
got
stuck,
whether
it
was
with
the
technology
or
with
a
question,
but
also
to
be
those
students
biggest
cheerleader
that
you
can
do
this.
We
just
want
you
to
give
it
your
best.
Try.
A
Right
just
trying
something
something
new,
so
so
speaking,
I'm
gonna
start
to
go
back
to
that
that
personalized,
because
I
I
can
imagine
that
that
some
of
the
kids
it
makes
me
think
of-
and
I
forget
what
it
was
called
but
years
ago,
I'm
showing
my
age,
but
I
used
to
have
this
little
owl
and
you
could
try
all
your
multiplication
tables.
You
know,
and
I
love
that
thing.
A
So
it's
making
me
think
of
that.
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
say
how
many
years
forward,
but
so
this
personalized
path
is
it.
Do
they
use
it?
A
certain
amount
of
time
is.
It
is
the
teacher
knowing
what
they're
doing
with
this,
because
I
can
imagine
that
some
people
would
be
like.
I
was
and
they'd
be
a
little
obsessed
with
it
and
other
kids.
Will
you
know
what
am
I
doing
with
this?
So
so
what
is?
How
does
all
that
work.
B
B
There
are
individualized
dashboards
for
each
child
again
showing
my
path
when
students
log
in
through
classlink,
they
open
up
to
their
dashboard
and
they
can
pick
from
their
either
math
or
reading
lessons
to
complete
each
day.
The
dashboard
gives
them
choices,
shows
them
their
progress
and
we're
asking
that
students
actually
engage
in
10
to
15
minutes
of
I-ready
personalized
instruction
every
day
it
is
gamified
right.
B
So
we
know
that
our
children
today
are
very
driven
by
interaction,
building,
building,
avatars
and
fun
games,
and
things
like
that
and
that's
the
platform
that
I
ready
personalized
instruction
is
built
on.
They
do
a
couple
lessons.
They
see,
they
see
some
rewards,
they
earn
some
rewards,
so
they
can
change
backgrounds
and
there's
also
some
built-in
learning
games
as
well.
B
So
teachers
can
monitor
that
also
where
the
my
path,
when
students
open
it
up,
both
students
and
parents,
can
see
right
there
on
that
front,
page
their
progress.
We
want
our
parents
and
our
students
to
give
themselves
a
pat
on
the
back,
seeing
their
progress
the
lessons
that
they
have
completed,
how
they've
been
moving
along
the
time
that
they've
spent
and
our
teachers
can
actually
see
this
too.
B
B
B
Their
lessons
passed
the
completed
work
that
they
have
done,
because
that
allows
the
teacher
to
look
at
instruction
a
little
differently,
we're
utilizing
academic
flex
time
in
our
virtual
schedules
to
meet
with
small
groups
to
do
some
reteaching
or
extension,
and
the
I
ready
information,
not
only
the
diagnostic
scores,
but
how
students
are
moving
along
in
their.
My
path
helps
inform
teachers
of
what
students
needs
are
either
for
re-teaching
or,
for
extension,.
A
That's
nice
and
so,
and
I'm
always
as
a
family
involvement
specialist
thinking
about
how
families
can
be
involved
so
so
moms
and
dads
is
what
you're
saying
is
they
can
go
on
there
and
they
can
look
to
see
so
did
johnny
actually
go
in
that
many
times,
or
did
he
do
it
today
at
all
or
they
can
sort
of
to
check
up
so
that
I
love
that
part.
Thank
you
amanda.
So
there's
a
video
that
does
a
really
nice
job
of
sort
of
encapsulating.
I
ready
for
us.
C
I
ready
is
an
online
assessment
and
instruction
program
for
reading
and
mathematics
that
will
help
determine
your
students
needs
personalize
their
learning
and
monitor
progress
throughout
the
school
year.
In
this
video
we
will
learn.
What
is
I
ready
personalized
instruction?
What
can
I
see
on
the
student
dashboard?
C
C
Your
students
dashboard
may
have
a
single
choice
of
working
on
teacher
assigned
lessons
or
two
choices
of
working
on
teacher
assigned
lessons
or
my
path.
Your
student
can
pick
math
or
reading
lessons
on
the
bottom
of
the
dashboard.
Your
student
will
have
different
choices,
to
do
my
progress,
my
stuff
and
for
math
learning
games
to
do
click
here,
to
see
your
students
lessons
and
assignments
my
progress,
you
will
see
stats
for
your
student
here,
we'll
come
back
to
this
in
just
a
minute,
my
stuff
for
grades
k
through
2.
C
Your
student
can
pick
buddies,
background
themes
and
play
games
with
coins
earned
for
grades
3
and
up
my
stuff
will
include
background
themes
and
rewards
options,
learning
games.
These
are
games
to
help
your
student
improve
his
or
her
math
skills.
Your
student
can
play
learning
games
when
he
or
she
finishes
lessons.
Learning
games
are
available
for
grades
k
through
eight
on
your
students.
Dashboard
click
on
my
progress
time
on
task
tells
you
how
many
minutes
your
student
has
spent
on
lessons
this
week.
C
C
Finally,
how
to
support
your
student.
Explain
to
your
student.
How
working
on
iready
will
help
them
continue
their
learning,
while
they're
away
from
school,
preparing
them
and
their
teachers
for
coming
back
to
school
and
help
ensure
that
they
are
ready
for
their
next
grade
level,
make
a
plan,
together
with
your
student
on
how
to
spend
their
time
at
home
and
when
they
will
work
on
their
learning
activities,
encourage
your
student
to
take
each
lesson
and
quiz
question
seriously
track
and
discuss
progress
regularly.
Review
progress
with
your
student
using
the
my
progress
page.
C
C
Follow
your
teacher's
guidance
as
you
plan
how
your
student
will
spend
their
learning
time.
Your
students
teacher
is
your
best
resource
for
ensuring
there
is
a
variety
in
the
activities
they
work
on
beyond
the
time
they
spend
on
the
online
learning
for
more
family
resources.
Please
visit
our
family
center
at
ireadycentral.com
family
center.
A
A
Okay,
so
so
now
that
we
have
sort
of
this
overarching
idea,
that
was
a
really
good
video,
let's
get
down
to
some
of
the
nitty-gritty
technology.
So
how
do
how
do
students
access
iready
and
what
electronic
devices
can
they
use
to
get
that
access?
How
does
that
look.
B
So
iready
is
accessible
on
any
desktop
ipad,
laptop
or
chromebook.
It
does
not
work
on
cell
phones.
So
that
is
an
important
thing
for
us
to
keep
to
keep
in
mind.
B
B
Yes-
and
we
should
be
using
that
all
of
our
students
should
be
using
that
regularly.
So
again,
a
variety
of
different
techno
technological
tools
can
be
used.
Just
not
our
cell
phones.
A
Okay,
okay
and
then
in
terms
of-
and
I
feel
like
you
sort
of
touched
on
this,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
our
families
understand
so
the
use
of
ireti.
How
does
that
inform?
I
guess
what
goes
on
in
the
classroom.
How
do
those
two
things
connect.
B
So
the
I-ready
personalized
instruction
is
really
designed
to
complement
what
is
being
taught
in
the
classroom.
It
should
not
take
the
place
of
our
teacher
direct
instruction
because
we
know
our
teachers
are
really
good
at
what
they
do
and
they
are
able
to
get
to
know.
A
Awesome,
so
it's
just
it's
another
nice
nice
tool
for
teachers
to
use.
So
I
also
would
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
talk
about
about
parents
again.
So
what
what
can
parents
do
from
your
perspective,
amanda
to
to
support
this,
to
support
the
use
of
this
tool
and
and
making
it
as
best
used
as
possible.
B
So
a
lot
of
our
parents
have
asked
us
questions
about
how
they
might
be
able
to
support
their
students
learning
at
home
and
first,
I
would
always
encourage
our
parents
to
talk
with
their
students
about
why
they're
using
iready
a
little
bit
more.
Maybe
what
they've
learned
here
today
and
how
the
use
of
the
program
will
help
them
to
be
better
prepared
for
their
grade
level
class
work
that
they
are
given.
B
B
Ask
our
students
to
really
you
know:
do
their
best
take
each
lesson
and
each
quiz
seriously.
You
know
we
use
the
words
think
before
you
click
or
thinking
before
clicking,
because
this
is
an
instructional
program.
B
So
we
don't
want
our
students
to
just
get
in
the
habit
of
clicking
through,
because
that
doesn't
give
good
feedback
to
our
parents
to
show
how
their
students
are
moving
along,
but
certainly
doesn't
give
an
accurate
report
to
our
teachers
either
about
what
they
know
or
are
able
to
do,
and
then
finally,
something
that
we
may
not
have
hit
on
before
is
encouraging
your
student
to
use
the
tools
that
appear
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
In
some
lessons
when
the
dashboard
opens
up.
B
In
some
of
our
lessons
some
reading
lessons
there
may
be
a
highlighter
tool
or
there
may
be
a
pointer
in
mathematics.
There
may
be
a
ruler
or
there
may
be
some
other
tools
there
that
support
students
to
solve
the
problems
in
those
lessons.
So
we
want
to
encourage
them
to
look
out
for
those
tools.
If
those
tools
are
there
encourage
your
students
to
use
them.
B
Finally,
aacps
did
send
home
backpacks
with
each
one
of
our
students
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
So
if
you
have
not
yet
received
a
backpack
from
your
school
or
been
part
of
that
distribution,
I
encourage
our
parents
to
email
their
teacher
give
that
school
office
a
phone
call,
because
inside
that
learning,
backpack
there's
items
such
as
a
communicator.
It's
a
sleeve
with
a
whiteboard
marker
that
students
could
use
to
solve
math
problems.
B
And
finally,
yeah,
I
think
that's
an
important
thing
that,
if
we're
not
there
yet,
let's
make
sure
that
we
get
those
backpacks
out
for
each
and
every
one
of
our
students
and
last
but
certainly
not
least,
you
know
we're
encouragers.
B
B
B
So
finally,
you
know
shelley
thank
you
so
much
again
for
having
me
here
today,
and
I
just
want
to
remind
our
parents
that
on
the
aacps.org
website,
you
can
actually
find
an
I-ready
page
with
much
more
information.
There's
a
frequently
asked
questions
document
there,
as
well
as
some
links
out
to
ireadycentral.com
that
has
a
great
family
engagement
resource
center
that
is
geared
directly
towards
our
parents
and
has
many
many
materials
in
various
languages,
from
spanish
to
tagalog
and
many
many
others
to
reach
all
of
our
students.
A
Awesome
awesome.
Well,
this
sounds
like
a
remarkable
product.
I
I'm
so
happy
to
hear
about
it
and
and
to
share
this
with
with
the
audience
and
and
thank
you
amanda.
I
can't
thank
you
enough
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
for
another
edition
of
parent's
corner,
see
you
next.
