ReadySet Curriculum*

Qwizdom’s ReadySet curriculum is designed to teach key concepts as outlined on state exams, giving educators the real-time assessment data they need to monitor and adjust instruction for maximum student benefit. This research-based curriculum fits into any academic program and ensures that all students are given the instruction needed to excel.

PRETEST: Each curriculum package begins with a pretest, providing teachers with a quick and complete evaluation of previously attained knowledge and student mastery of key concepts as assessed on state exams.

READYSET ACTIVITIES: Access dozens of standards-specific mini-lessons ranging from
10–20 minutes in length. Keep instruction focused as each lesson addresses grade-level benchmarks.

Teachers can use ReadySet lessons as is, or customize them to meet the needs of their classroom. ReadySet incorporates instruction of key concepts, outlining solutions to standards-based questions. This extra step provides instant feedback to individual students and then takes the time to explain and teach essential skills. By expanding the answers to include the
problem-solving techniques and question analysis strategies, students are given instruction at the moment when
they are most receptive.

Standards-based lessons combined with the instant reporting system means teachers are reviewing results and redirecting instruction, not grading endless papers. Students receive valuable feedback with real-time assessments.

POSTTEST: Each curriculum package ends with a posttest that identifies every assessed grade-level standard. Given prior to the state exam, educators still have time to scaffold instruction to help students with any specific area of need.

Qwizdom’s state-specific ReadySet curriculum meets the needs of data-driven instruction. Unlike most supplemental programs that simply assess student skill mastery, ReadySet offers instructional activities and assessment to help teach the skills and processes necessary for students to show improvement while easing the workload of teachers and streamlining communication with administrators.

Each ReadySet Skills and ReadySet MyState package provides content organized by skills or state standards.
