i-Ready is a engaging program designed by Curriculum Associates to help students learn and grow with their individual needs. From their website:
i-Ready makes the promise of differentiated instruction a practical reality for teachers and students. It was designed to get students excited about learning, and to support teachers in the challenge of meeting the needs of all learners.
At North Side Elementary, to better encourage students to actively participate and try their best when completing i-Ready lessons and tests, our Micro-Computer Technical Specialist, Clarke Bowman, created iBucks!
IT'S A SIMPLE CONCEPT:
Complete lessons, perform well on tests, and you will earn iBucks.
THE MORE YOU LEARN, THE MORE YOU EARN!
The students can then use this currency to buy fun prizes at the school store every few weeks.
STUDENTS LOVE IT.
STUDENTS CAN:
We have since created SciBucks and Blaze Bucks (for the Math Blazer) to have a unified, incentivization program to encourage students to do well in all subjects, and not just while on the i-Ready program.
