All students in grades 2-12 are screened using FASTtrack Math, which consists of aMath and CBM Math Automaticity. aMath measures broad math skills and CBM Math Automaticity assesses math fluency.  This assessment is typically given three times a year (fall, winter, spring) and takes about 35-40 minutes to complete.

We use FASTtrack Math as a nationally-normed assessment to measure our performance throughout the year. This serves multiple purposes, including evaluating the effectiveness of our own curriculum and instruction, identifying risk, and providing us with data points to best serve each student. 

i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment designed to provide teachers with actionable insight into student needs. The Diagnostic offers a complete picture of student performance and growth, eliminating the need for multiple, redundant tests. Diagnostic results also set a personalized learning path for each student, ensuring they’re working on instruction that matches their unique learning needs.

The i-Ready experience begins with students taking the online adaptive diagnostic assessment. Based on Diagnostic results, i‑Ready reports provide detailed information on student performance by domain, clear instructional recommendations, including a personalized instructional path, and aggregate data for spotting trends across groups of students.

The i-Ready diagnostic results are very important in East Penn.  Results are part of our placement process for students in our K-12 math sequence.  For more information about the reports, please check the documents below.
