MAP Testing Information

Students will taking the MAP test over the next two weeks according the the schedule shown below.  

What is MAP? MAP, or the Measure of Academic Progress, is a computerized adaptive test which helps teachers, parents and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child's academic growth.  

Why give MAP?  MAP Growth provides data on student readiness that can be used to differentiate instruction.  MAP Growth provides growth data that can be used over time to ensure that students are meeting growth expectations.

What are we doing?  We are asking each student to come on campus from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm on their assigned day to be welcomed back to school and take their beginning of year assessment.  

Why are we doing this?  With more than six months since our last "normal" school experience, it is more important than ever to know where are students are academically.  Teachers need this vital information to support students in their learning journey and adapt instructions to each students' needs.

Does my student have to come to campus for MAP Testing?  Individuals who cannot attend on-campus testing can request to take the assessment at home HERE.
