![]() These benchmarks are only available in this document, so please be aware the benchmark sets available elsewhere likely are not intended for Iowa use. ![]() The old benchmark for Kindergarten in the fall was 295, and the updated benchmark is 313.īelow are the 2021-22 benchmarks that will be used for MAP assessments in Iowa for the purpose of ELI and Healthy Indicator reports. The first table detail is from last year’s benchmarks. Here is an example of the change in benchmarks. With the winter screening window just weeks away, we recommend making sure that those using the data are aware of the benchmark changes and make any necessary changes to plans for student needs after the winter screening data are available. The updated benchmarks should be applied to the data in Student Success by mid-December. We want to support the best possible decision making for identifying students at risk in reading or math and the updated benchmarks will improve those decisions. This means that the literacy status has been calculated for students based on the old benchmarks, communicated with parents, and used to decide which students will receive interventions. We became aware of the change after the fall screening window closed. In other words, the old benchmarks were under-identifying students at risk when compared to the definitions used by other measures. The result of this change is that a few more students will probably be identified as below benchmark using the new benchmarks. This practice aligns with other screening assessments in use to meet ELI requirements. i-Ready benchmark updates for 22-23Ĭurriculum Associates informed us that they updated benchmarks for i-Ready for the 22-23 school year. Perviously, the benchmarks reflected only students at high risk.They added a “some risk” category which is also considered to be below the benchmark when screening for literacy risk in Iowa. The information below is based on that communication. Due to the impact of the change on reports/risk levels for some students, an email was sent 12/8/22 to the MTSS contacts for districts who have i-Ready as a default assessment. Download the 22-23 Iowa i-Ready Benchmarks here. The official Fastbridge benchmarks and norms are located in Fastbridge > Training & Resources > Benchmarks & Norms.Ĭurriculum Associates has updated the i-Ready benchmarks for Iowa for the 22-23 school year. ![]() Note for 2022-23: Looking for the quick reference document? The document was created by a non-FastBridge/non-Department of Education source and will no longer be available due to the lack of capacity to maintain and ensure the accuracy of the tables on a document that is duplicating information that is available from the vendor in the FastBridge system. If the student scored 145, the student is above the benchmark. For example, if the benchmark is 144 and the student score is 144, the student performed below benchmark. The benchmark numbers are generally the highest numeric score a student can get that does not meet the benchmark. ![]()
