Use this page to track our goals for IXL and for instructions on how to use the software to meet these goals. Below you’ll see the Goal Tracker: toggle over goal 1, or 2, or 3 and click open for preciser instructions. By following this recommended path, we aim to see traceable improvement in discrete skills through general data collection and also with an mid-year and end of year diagnostic.

Goal Tracker: IXL Semester I 2025
IXL for Intervention
IXL can be used in many ways, from a curricular companion that targets standards based on a teacher’s curriculum to a comprehensive diagnostic and intervention tool. The information below articulates the difference and how it impacts teacher use and student use.
Diagnostic and Intervention Use
As our primary goal this semester is diagnostics and intervention, it is important to note:
- Teachers may not use diagnostics (screener, flex diagnostic, step into the arena) for academic grades as these are diagnostics and not academic assessments.
- Teachers may not grade students based on questions given through the Recommendation Wall as these are interventions.
Important Considerations
- Some accommodations in IEPs do not pertain to diagnostics and interventions. When an IEP states assessments, it is related to academic, standard-based assessments that reflect grades for the student not a diagnostic intended to measure a students capabilities in a certain domain.
- Grading the completion of 30 questions per week is permitted in line with participation not grading the individual response why? Because, we are focused on using IXL as an intervention and can require engagement as a grade however, we cannot require correct responses in interventions as a grade.
- IXL comes with Universal Accommodations that students should access most of the time. For example, text-to-speech, extended time, dictionaries, and text-to-speech capabilities. However, if we are using a Diagnostic in reading, like the Flex Diagnostic or Universal Screener, students should not use text-to-speech as we are measuring reading skill for intervention purposes.
- Please consult the Dean of Faculty or SPED case managers for further clarification along the way.
Curriculum Use
Our Math and ELA curriculums are built into IXL under the Skill Plans tab. Though our focus is Diagnostic and Intervention based, teachers can and will use IXL’s powerful suite to compliment their daily instruction. They may do so in ways that are separate from the diagnostic and intervention goals laid out above but can be:
