•Grow at least one year on i-Ready reading assessment

What are Standards?

•Standards define what each student should know and do in a core set of subjects. They give students a solid foundation in the basics and provide consistent targets for students, teachers, and parents.

•When we measure student achievement against the standards, we have the ability to see how well we are performing and how much we are improving.

AIMS Information

•What is AIMS?▫AIMS (Arizona Instrument to Measure

Standards) is a standards-based assessment administered in all Arizona schools in the areas of reading, writing, math and science
