In this video, I’m breaking down an update from Curriculum Associates that matters for Indiana elementary math: the Indiana State Board of Education has approved i-Ready Inform as a preferred Grades K–2 universal mathematics screener for the Formative Assessment Grant. If you’re a district trying to meet state screening requirements without juggling multiple systems, this is a big deal—because it means you can use grant funding and keep the whole workflow on a single platform. I talk through what this approval signals: i-Ready has met the state’s criteria for approved assessment programs, and the intent is to give schools reliable, trustworthy data to guide remediation and differentiated instruction throughout the year. My main takeaway is that this can reduce “assessment add-on” costs and simplify implementation for K–2 teams—especially for districts already using i-Ready. If you’re planning your screening plan, grant spending, or assessment calendar, this is one to put directly on your radar.
