EdReady is a personalized math and English readiness learning system that evaluates the skills of each student in the context of their goal and then provides a learning pathway to mastery. EdReady supports and accelerates math and English readiness.

This activity takes you through the steps to set up your own EdReady account and how you can use it with your students.

OTAN supports agencies wanting to try EdReady with their students. They will set up teacher accounts and needed student pathways. Students are assigned a “Goal key” that ensures the student is working in their teacher’s account. Teachers can track student progress and time on task.

For more information about EdReady, please see the Web-based article titled, “Accelerate Learning with EdReady”.

For this project, using the OOH, students will investigate three jobs of their choice and engage in project based learning activities to delve into various careers and discuss future trends.

A skill we need to teach our students is to fact-check those things they read, hear, or see in the media. Using online checkers:  snopes, FactCheck and Politifact, students will investigate a current story presented in the media.
