About this episode
Michael Bonner discusses the midyear i-Ready results and their implications for teaching and growth in the classroom.
The midyear i-Ready data is back—and I’m not sugarcoating it. In this episode, Michael Bonner breaks down what the results reveal about belief, expectations, and the systems driving real growth in the classroom. From BOY to midyear gains, new challenges, and what comes next—including double dipping and increased writing—this is a real look at teaching with intention and accountability. This work matters, and the data proves it.
