Beginning of Year Diagnostic Assessments: Reading Inventory & i-Ready/Math MAP

Deal students will take the Reading Inventory assessment beginning on Monday in ELA classes.  Students will begin their iReady (Math 6 – 8) or Math MAP (HS level courses) assessment on Wednesday in Math classes. Both are DCPS required diagnostics used to identify each student’s areas of strength, identify the specific skills each student needs to develop, and measure academic growth throughout the school year. Teachers use the data from both assessments to inform instruction.  For sixth grade students, based on our universal math screening, students are placed in Math 7 or a Math Enrichment class after the 4th week of school.  The Deal Acceleration Policy is attached.
