2  Ready 2016 Updates: Review the math sections (Section 2 and Section 4) of the Udemy course “Ready 2016 Updates,” which can be found here: . For directions of accessing Udemy courses, please see the following document: 3  Ready Mathematics Program Samplers: Review the program sampler for the edition and grade-band that you will be presenting. Ready Mathematics 2016 sampler: Grades 2-5: Ready Mathematics 2014 samplers: Grades K-1: Grades 2-5: Grades 6-8: 4  Ready Mathematics Content: Become familiar with the following Ready Mathematics content. Front matter (pages A6-A45) of the Teacher Resource Book (any grade level). Model Lessons: 1st grade (lesson 14); 4th grade (lesson 11); 7th grade (lesson 9) 5  Teacher Toolbox . Focus especially on the Teacher Resources because documents get uploaded and revised on a regular basis. 6  Understanding i-Ready. This internal document provides information on i-Ready Assessment & Reports and i-Ready Instruction and will be a valuable resource for you when you deliver a Blended workshop. 7  i-Ready Guided Walkthrough. This internal document will be come in handy as you deliver a Blended workshop. If you are using the i-Ready Guided Walk-Through as a reference, you will not be able to follow all of the steps/talking points and will need to practice a streamlined version. 9  Review the three agendas (Full Agenda, Reduced Agenda, and Blended Agenda) included on pages 4-10 of this Facilitation Guide.
Say, “Because you are adults, I spared you from having to write your answers in the book, but we would do that with our students because it is another way they can reinforce their learning and it will also give them a record of their answers as “notes” to look back at later.” Finish by noting that we just did two pages of a Ready lesson, and it would take even longer with students. We didn’t do any introduction to the lesson and we didn’t do the Try It questions or the discourse resulting from that. So we’ve essentially just looked at the “heart” of a day in the life of a Ready Mathematics lesson. 6-8: Engaging in the Student Experience Display Slide 127 (6-8 only). Note to the Facilitator: Slides 127 through 145 are for Grades 6-8 only. Hide these slides if you are not addressing this audience. Note to the Facilitator: This slide has animations. Set the stage by saying that normally you might start this day with a number talk, problem of the day, or review of the previous lesson, but we are going to just dive right into the lesson. Note to the Facilitator: From this point onward (through slide 145), you are the “teacher” and participants are the “students.” If you have a quiet group that is reluctant to participate, you might suggest that they do turn and talks instead of soliciting responses from the whole “class.” However, it is essential that you demonstrate the Ready experience, so do not skip this section. Note to the Facilitator: You will see in the notes for most slides that there is an answer or a range of possible answers given in response to each question. For question with only one correct answer, it is important that you not say “yes” or “no” in response to participants. Instead say, “Does everyone agree?” If anyone does not agree, tease out their thinking. For questions with a range of possible answers, again do not say “yes” or “no.” Instead, listen to each response and then say, “Does anyone else have another way of thinking about this?” Note to the Facilitator: We recommend to not have participants look at the Learner’s Notebook pages (Grade 6-8: pages 50-69) so they can focus on the student experience.
Let’s Log in Display Slide 230. Note to the Facilitators: Prior to the training, you should insert the username, password, and state into the slide. You can get this information from the Excel Worksheet i-Ready Rep and Trainer Try-It Logins, posted on the Training & PD Resources page of the Rep Website. Depending on the timeframe, you may opt not to have participants log in but have them view what you are showing in of the room. Explain that we will be using a demonstration account that will allow participants to log in as teachers. Have participants use the directions on the slide to log in to i-Ready. Acknowledge that your tour of i-Ready will be very brief, so participants who are uncomfortable with technology or are having trouble logging in can follow along on your screen instead of working in i-Ready themselves. Tell participants: There are directions in the TTG and videos under the i-Ready Resources tab to help you through most of what we’ll cover now. Note to the Facilitator: At this point, you will leave the Deck and log in to i-Ready to demonstrate navigation and to share reports. Encourage participants to try what you are modeling as you navigate in and generate and review reports. They can do everything you are doing in the demo account if they are logged in. For this entire section: See detailed notes and talking points for navigation and review of key reports in i-Ready Guided Walkthrough. Given the short time you have here, you will not be able to follow all of the notes/talking points provided, so you will need to be prepared to highlight the most important pieces. You will also need to read and internalize much of the Understanding i-Ready supporting document to speak knowledgably about things like
