Math MAP Assessment Administration
Students will participate in the Math MAP Assessment this week, on Wednesday, September 27th-29th. The assessment will be administered through math classes with make-ups being offered the following week.
What is the MAP assessment?
The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment is designed to measure a student’s academic achievement and growth over time in reading and mathematics. Together with other classroom-based information, MAP results can help teachers make instructional decisions that match the needs of each child.
MAP is a computer adaptive assessment. In a computer adaptive assessment, as a student responds to questions, the test responds to the student, adjusting up or down the difficulty of the questions presented to the student. This creates a personalized assessment for every student.
