MAP Parent Forum
This document summarizes information that was presented at a parent forum about MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing. It discusses what MAP testing is, how to read MAP reports, and how the results are used at the school. MAP tests students in reading, math, and language and provides immediate results on an equal-interval RIT scale to measure growth over time. The document explains that MAP identifies a student's instructional level, provides data to inform instructional decisions, and helps evaluate programs and curriculum, while classroom evidence provides a more complete picture of student performance.
