MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Testing

This week we will begin our MAP (Measures of Academic Progrees) Testing!

MAP IS:

A Tool for Teachers

Created by educators for educators, MAP assessments provide detailed, actionable data about where each child is on their unique learning path. Because student engagement is essential to any testing experience, NWEA works with educators to create test items that interest children and help to capture detail about what they know and what they’re ready to learn. It’s information teachers can use in the classroom to help every child, every day.

Adapting the Test to the Student

MAP dynamically adapts to a student’s responses – as they take the test.

• Answer a question correctly and the test presents a more challenging item
• Miss a question, and MAP offers a simpler item

In this way, the test narrows in on a student’s learning level, engaging them with content that allows them to succeed.

Available Assessments

Delivered over the web or through your local network, MAP is a complete set of assessments aligned to national and state curricula and standards:
Reading
Math
Language Arts


Our test schedule starts this Friday (April 12) at 8:30 AM for our Language Arts Test.

Please be sure your child goes to be early on Thursday night and arrives to school promptly on Friday morning.  Be sure they have a delicious and healthy breakfast and have had plenty of fresh air!  We will be assessed in Reading on May 1st and Math on May 3rd!
