NEW ASSESSMENT for 2016 - 2017

In an effort to improve teaching and learning, MAP allows teachers and students the opportunity to set goals and track individual student growth throughout the school year.

  • What is MAP?
    • MAP is a computer adaptive test, which means every student gets a unique set of test questions based on responses to previous questions. As the student answers correctly, questions get harder. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions get easier. By the end of the test, most students will answer about half the questions correctly.
  • What does MAP measure?
    • MAP results are provided as a numerical RIT score. This score is used to measure a student’s achievement level at different times of the school year and determine growth. Think of this like marking height on a growth chart. You can tell how tall your child is at various points in time and how much they have grown between one time and another.
