I have been tasked with finding a good diagnostic tool to assess math skill growth from the beginning of the year to the end of the year for grades 1-8. I've used generic tests in the past, but haven't ever found anything that really did much for me. Doesn't need to be a free item, just good. What do you use and do you like it or not? Not looking for a curriculum program, just a good diagnostic tool.

Our district uses Star Math. I think it’s part of the Renaissance assessment suite. I don’t work very closely with it. We only run it through 9th grade. But I think the middle school teachers like it.

I am a middle school teacher that uses STAR. I love it. It is user friendly and offers many different kinds of reports. That being said, my district is switching to NWEA.

Moby max is great. Lots of different reports. Tracks growth. Automatically assigns work that they are missing. Down side only K to 8.

For those with significant others who are healthcare workers, how do they react when you are having / had a bad day? I feel like they think they have it 1000x worse (which could most certainly be true) but our job is also stressful/challenging just in a different way? Agree?

How do we start that movement?…

I teach a hybrid of face to face and virtual instruction and we have 1 hour and 10 minutes for whole group instruction. These are fifth graders. How would you use this time to maximize learning? What strategies/methods would you use for engagement and mastery?

I definitely feel like student engagement is low in the virtual realm. Any suggestions would be great.
